title: Combined cystometry and perineal electromyography in the diagnosis and treatment of neurogenic urinary incontinence.
abstract: Function of the bladder and periurethral striated muscle was determined simultaneously by combined cystometry and electromyography studies in 120 patients. The coordinated tests were extremely helpful in identifying the different types of periurethral striated muscle activity in neurogenic bladder dysfunction, diagnosing the mechanism of incontinence and determining the appropriate therapy.
