The sphincter urethra is deficient and cannot remain closed in the event
of a sudden and significant increase in abdominal pressure (exertion,
coughing, etc.).
The aim of this programme is to strengthen the sphincter muscle of the
bladder. The objective is therefore to produce tetanic contractions of
the paraurethral components of the striated muscle of the pelvic floor,
using the optimum tetanization frequencies of the fast fibres.
Use of an intravaginal probe.
Use of the maximum energy tolerated by the patient in order to obtain
the greatest possible spatial recruitment. The current intensity is
increased regularly every 3 or 4 contractions throughout the session. The
therapist plays a decisive role in reassuring the patient and obliging her
to work with the most powerful possible contractions.
