A sophisticated, yet simple to use, battery-operated unit,
U-Control enables patients to self-train with prescribed exercises,
at home, to re-educate pelvic muscles for better urinary or
fecal control.
Two LEDs cue patients to tense or relax either for 5 or 10
seconds. Patients view their progress on an ascending or descending
bargraph scale or 15 LEDs and listen for rising or falling
variations in a continuous tone.
U-Control has an adjustable threshold setting to enable health
professionals and patients to revise and 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
