Description
*U-Control is a sophisticated, yet simple to use, battery-operated unit, for patients to self-train at home, to re-educate pelvic muscles for better urinary or fecal control.
*Two LEDs cue patients to tense or relax for 5 or 10 seconds. Patients view their progress on an ascending or descending bargraph scale of 15 LEDs and listen for rising and falling variations in a continuous tone.
*An adjustable threshold setting allows users to gradually increase the level of difficulty and to report on their training programs as they progress.
*Patients use a comfortable, reusable vaginal or rectal sensor in combination with simple biofeedback exercises to improve bladder and bowel function by:
holding a steady LED readout or tone.
intensifying muscle contractions above the threshold level repeating a preset number of exercises striving for specific LED readings or tones
