Pelvic Floor Stimulation: What are the good vibrations?

Objective Aim of the study was to determine if two different whole body vibration systems sinusoidal (SV) and stochastic vibration (SRV) using divers intensities lead to a reactive activation of pelvic floor muscles. Study Design We compared pelvic floor muscle response of a healthy control group and a post partum group with weakened pelvic floor contraction. Activation effects of stochastic resonance vibration and sinusoidal vibration and six increasing vibration intensities were investigated using pelvic floor EMG and compared to activity during rest and maximum voluntary contraction. Results Both whole body v…
