The electric effect

Article Abstract:

Electrostimulation administered via surface electrodes or a vaginal/rectal probe has been found to play a useful role in the treatment of some bowel and bladder conditions, including incontinence. This approach can improve the strength and tone of pelvic floor muscles, for example, thus promoting continence, and can also play a role in normalising pelvic floor muscle function. The form of electrostimulation used will vary according to the individual patient's symptoms.

Working together

Article Abstract:

Physiotherapists have an important part to play in the field of continence care. Most physiotherapists treat incontinence patients in hospital obstetrics and gynaecology departments, while a few are involved in community care. Physiotherapists wishing to be involved in continence care must undergo postgraduate education in its management and treatment.
