What is Biofeedback?Biofeedback is a technique in which people are trained to improve their health by learning to control certain internal bodily processes that normally occur involuntarily, such as muscle tension (i.e.: pelvic floor muscle tone) via the use of a computer screen portraying the activity of the pelvic muscles.

Purpose, Characteristics, Function
Purpose1. Aide in identification of target muscles2. Use conscious awareness to properly work muscle
to void or stool. 3. Learn relaxation in those with retention,
constipation4. Requires desire and motivation for improvement of
life over time and with effort.5. With Uroflowmetry, addresses voiding dysfunctions
by allowing the patient to view their muscle use during voiding.

Review of anatomy –as relating to the pelvic floor
The pelvic floor supports the bladder, and helps to maintain
continence.
During voiding, the pelvic floor must relax and allow the
free flow of fluid

Pelvic Floor MusclesSlow Twitch Muscles fibers (Type 1 muscle fibers) Predominant muscle fiber in the pelvic floor; physiologically suited to provide sustained pelvic muscle tone over prolonged periods of time. Comprise about 70% of pelvic floor musculature.
Fast Twitch Muscle fibers (Type 2 muscle fibers) Comprise about 30% of the pelvic floor muscle fibers, physiologically designed to provide rapid contraction needed to increase sphincter tone when there is a sudden increase in abdominal pressure, as seen with stress incontinence.

Types of pelvic floor dysfunctionStress incontinence – the loss of continence during exertion : cough, laugh, exercise
Urge incontinence – the loss of continence due to a sudden overwhelming need to void (or evacuate)
Dysfunctional voiding – a learned behavior where the pelvic floor does not relax to allow completion of voiding or bowel movement.

Compensation during pelvic floor contraction
Pt often contract adductors (close legs), gluteii (buttock) muscles, or overuse the abdominal muscles in an attempt to do a pelvic floor contraction
Pt typically compensate if they have decreased proprioception (muscle awareness), if they have decreased strength or if they are in pain

How does biofeedback help?
•It is patient controlled – empowering through conscious awareness, to take charge of their pelvic floor issues.• It offers an option for those who do not want surgery or medication•It does not prevent or complicate future surgery•It may be used in combination Rx

Biofeedback
Terminology
is the “old term” for pelvic floor re-education or rehabilitation, more to the point, biofeedback is one aspect of Pelvic Floor Therapy
Electrical stimulation is the delivery of electrical current to stimulate muscle contraction, another option in Pelvic Floor TherapyPelvic Floor Therapy includes the above options along with: bowel and bladder management, fluid and nutrition awareness, posturing, anatomy and physiology of pelvic floor and elimination, positive affirmations and breathing.

Biofeedback for PFRHow to measure muscle tension?
For pelvic floor training, electromyography (EMG), measures actual muscle tension and relaxation (muscular electrical activity)
Manometry (pressure), a technique that monitors pressure change related to the muscle. Or the actual strength and weakness of the muscle with an internal probe.

28
Treatment follows accurate diagnosis of urinary / fecal dysfunction
Urodynamic studies pinpoint the cause of the symptoms
A trial of Pelvic Floor exercises may be done –the patient receives verbal instructions to strengthen the muscles by contracting the pelvic floor –often unsuccessful because patients are not able to correctly perform the exercises, or the pelvic floor is just too weak to contract:
Often these exercises are taught by instructing the patient to stop and start the urinary stream during voiding
Modern physicians discourage this now, since it is interfering with the natural voiding function, and can lead to bad habits

The advantage of pelvic floor re-education in a clinical setting
The clinician and the patient are able to visualize the muscle activity
confirms they are contracting the proper muscle groupThe clinician becomes a personal trainer and provides positive reinforcementProgress can be monitoredA Session is terminated if patient shows fatigue and recruits abdominal musclesImprovement is often reported after 3 sessions!

30
Typical treatment programs
First, the diagnosisNext, begin pelvic floor re-education sessions
Most often, done once weekly for a period of 6-8 weeksFollow up to assess success and reinforce proper techniqueHomework of exercises performed 3 to 4 times daily along with bowel and bladder management, improved fluid intake, and possibly bladder retraining.

31
Success?
It has been found that the success rate is 75-85% -either complete “cure” or improvementWithin one year, the symptoms will return if exercises are discontinued
This is a lifelong commitment for the patient – the monitored training is just the beginningSome may return for a ‘tune up’ 6 mo to a year later!

UrostymProvides monitoring of both pelvic floor and abdominal muscles
This confirms that only the right muscles are used
Tracks improvement
Provides electrical stimulation (when appropriate) to help strengthen muscles even before the patient can contract the muscles voluntarily

33
Cautions/ correct useInternal probes are only used with adultsElectrical Stimulation is never used with childrenInternal probes are contraindicated whenever it is not appropriate – such as the presence of open wounds, or when placing an internal probe is painful or extremely distasteful to the patient, hemorrhoids
But remember that internal probes allow treatment to be more specific (by being physically closer ) to the levator ani muscle

The contraindications for Electrical Stimulation (ES)
Persons with the following conditions should not use electrical stimulation: 1. Complete denervation of the pelvic floor 2. Dementia 3. Demand cardiac (heart) pacemaker 4. Unstable or serious cardiac arrhythmia 5. Pregnancy or planning/attempting pregnancy 6. Broken/irritated peri-anal skin 7. Rectal bleeding 8. Active infection (UTI/vaginal) 9. Unstable seizure disorder 10.Swollen, painful hemorrhoids

Understanding Current
Pulsed ,bi-phasic current: Particles move in one direction, according to their charge, fall briefly to zero, and then reverse direction.
Current Amplitude:Amplitude is the intensity of the current ( measured in micro-volts)

Current for PFRLower Hz 10 to 12 are used for pelvic pain
20 Hz is usually used for Urgency/Frequency and Urge Incontinence.
Higher Hz 50 to 100 are used for Stress incontinence.
Hz 200 are used for urinary retention

39
What happens during PFR?EMG or pressure probe (vaginal /anal) is inserted Note: An EMG probe can monitor muscle tension (electrical activity) and can administer ES. A pressure probe can only monitor change in pressure
Surface electrodes are placed on the abdominals to monitor EMG activity in this areaThe information gathered is fed to a computer screen, and the therapist then leads the person in exercisesThrough trial and error, participants learn to identify and control their pelvic floor muscles
