Abstract

Efficacy of Bio-feedback (BF) training in patients with incontinence was evaluated using newly designed electromyography of the anal external sphincter muscle (CEMG) which visualized the state of contraction of the sphincter muscle. Twenty-seven patients with incontinence conducted the BF-training for 3 months twice or three times per week. Fifteen out of 27 patients significantly improved the symptom.
