Abstract

Urinary incontinence therapy system has been developed using electric stimulation and biofeedback techniques. In the electric stimulation, bipolar current pulses with the frequency of 10-50Hz were applied to vagina muscle. To alleviate possible skin burning caused by locally focussed current silicone electrodes rather than conventional steel electrodes have been developed.
