Objective methods for evaluation of interferential therapy in the treatment of incontinence.
Electrotherapy is a treatment for various conditions, and can be difficult to quantify in effect. This paper examines the form known as interferential therapy, with particular application in the management of urinary incontinence. Objective validation of the treatment is described, which allows optimal positioning of the electrodes for a particular patient.
