- Brief Summary
The present study investigated the changes in morphological symptoms and psychological symptoms when using Easy-K device on subjects with stress urinary incontinence. After using the Easy-K device for 8 weeks, the improved results were confirmed from the ultrasound variables and questionnaire variables. The variables measured by ultrasound such as bladder neck position, funnel index, urethral length, and rhabdoshpincter thickness, all showed improved results after 8 weeks of intervention. Through muscle stimulation and contraction training of the electric stimulator, it was confirmed that the thickness of the muscle increased and a bladder hypermobility, one of the symptoms of urinary incontinence, decreased.
