In order for children to achieve normal voiding or urinating, it is essential for them to fully relax their pelvic and urinary sphincter muscles. Biofeedback is an innovative and non-invasive therapy that uses a computer program resembling a video game.
Here's what happens with Biofeedback:
- First, skin patch electrodes are placed on the perineum and abdomen to measure the child’s state of relaxation.
- Patients then perform fun, yet challenging exercises through a video game. When a patient successfully relaxes his or her muscles, the patient gains points in the game.
