Pelvic Health Rehabilitation for many can be life-changing.  Our Morpheus® system can help to diagnose an incontinence issue and then provide the necessary Pelvic Health Therapy to help control that issue.  Many physicians are turning to Pelvic Health Rehabilitation pre and post-surgical procedures to inspire a more desired outcome from surgery and strengthen and maintain healthy pelvic floor musculature.  It is more than just exercises.  It becomes a way of life.  Pelvic Floor Muscle Rehab can treat various issues for, but not limited to, urinary and fecal incontinence, pelvic pain, urinary and fecal urgency/frequency, and stress incontinence.

Pelvic Health Rehabilitation Courses are offered through The Prometheus® Group for Physicians, Physician Assistants, Nurse Practitioners, and Registered Nurses who specialize in areas related to Pelvic Floor Function/Dysfunction and are interested in furthering their knowledge of biofeedback and pelvic health.  Click the image below to learn more or to sign up for the Pelvic Health Rehabilitation Course.  Or visit: https://theprogrp.com/physicians-nurses/professional-development-courses-for-nurses-physicians/



Did you know that kids can benefit from biofeedback?  A major cause of urinary incontinence and/or frequent Urinary Tract Infections (UTI) in children is dyssynergia or “strain” dyssynergia resulting in dysfunctional voiding issues.   These learned or acquired mechanisms are characterized by increased striated muscle tone.   Placing surface electrodes on the perianal area and abdomen (accessory muscles) while voiding can help to detect dyssynergia.  While keeping those same surface electrodes in place, we can tailor a biofeedback technique for the child to follow.

An animated protocol can be set up specifically for the child to help the child understand the voiding problem and comprehend a technique to be used during these dysfunctions.  Over time the child can learn to recognize improvement by observing and synchronizing the straining and relaxing of these muscles during voiding.  Over time a willingness to participate and motivation to learn these techniques can help the child to overcome or master the dysfunction.



A Urethral Pressure Profile indicates the intraluminal pressure along the length of the urethra with the bladder at rest.  This is a Static UPP.  The Maximum Urethral Pressure is the maximum pressure of the measured profile.  The Maximum Urethral closure Pressure is the difference between the maximum urethral pressure and the intravesical pressure.  Otherwise known as PURA-PVES=Urethral Closure Pressure.  Urinary continence depends on the pressure in the urethra exceeding the pressure in the bladder at all times, even with increased abdominal pressure.  With the catheter placed in the bladder, it is withdrawn through the urethra with a slow and steady movement creating a pressure tracing marking the Closure Pressure.

Functional Urethral Length is the length of the urethra along which the urethral pressure exceeds the intravesical pressure.  Normal length is generally  1.0 – 4.0 cm.



Office-based surgical procedures have been on the increase in recent years. Many new techniques are introduced to physicians in the surgery center or operating room setting but are later driven to the office setting based on many factors. One of the most significant incentives to do procedures in-office is that the physician can continue to see patients. At the same time, he or she performs these surgeries during their normal workflow. This correlates to more office revenue and less downtime in the OR for the physician waiting on surgical suite availability.

In most markets across the country, the financial challenges faced by hospital systems have forced the closings and consolidation of many facilities resulting in fewer available operating rooms and surgery centers in many communities. As a result, it has become harder for physicians performing nonemergency procedures to schedule OR time.

Today’s sedation techniques have made in-office surgery more viable. However, some physicians still prefer to set aside one day per month designated as a “Surgery Day” with an Anesthesiologist on-site to administer sedation as needed. Most procedures are completed with just oral medications and an appropriate local anesthetic. Today’s anesthetics are faster acting, wear off just minutes after surgery, and are much less likely to trigger any nausea or disorientation. Combine this with a favorable reimbursement picture where both patient and physician can benefit from OBP, and it’s easy to see why the office continues to be a viable venue for minimally invasive modalities.

Some compelling benefits to any patient considering an in-office procedure.

1) Cost Saving – The additional costs to hospital surgery (OR fee, Anesthesiology fee, Medication fees) can add up quickly, up to 70% higher than OBP.

2) Time Savings – Hospital surgery schedule can be a problem; surgical delays are a fact of life. The physician OBP is in control, with limited downtime and delays.

3) Less Exposure to Germs – One in 25 patients have hospital-acquired infections yearly. In-office procedures avoid exposure to unnecessary risk.



Interpretation of Urodynamics consists of the 3 C’s and 2 S’s. The 3 C refers to the sphincter’s Capacity, Compliance, and Competence. The 2 S’s refer to Sensation and Stability.


Bladder capacity is studied to determine the amount of fluid the bladder holds. Compliance is the ability of the bladder wall to distend. The relationship between change in the bladder volume and change in the detrusor pressure is measured.

The EFP or (End Filling Pressure) should be below 15cmH20. The EFP (End Filling Pressure) of 40cmH20 or greater may lead to high risk to the upper tract. The competence of the sphincter is the ability of the external striated muscle to hold urine and to relax and release urine. This can be evaluated by using VLPP (Valsalva Leak Point Pressure). The VLPP is automatically marked and calculated with a simple keystroke.

Patient sentiments are recorded during the filling phase. Volume, pressures, and psychosocial environment affect a patient’s feelings. According to ICS, Morpheus® has conveniently placed study markers to indicate these sensations.

Stability refers to the detrusor function during filling. Normal detrusor function allows bladder filling with little or no change in pressure. Detrusor overactivity is a urodynamic observation characterized by involuntary detrusor contractions during the filling phase, which may be spontaneous or provoked. During the study, convenient study markers can be placed with a click of a button or tap of the touch screen.

Urodynamics Systems Options


Endorectal ultrasound is an additional diagnostic tool used in the evaluation and management of patients with fecal incontinence. It can identify defects of the internal and external anal sphincters, helping to confirm findings that may be suggested by anorectal manometry. The examination also allows clinicians to assess the structure and integrity of the sphincter muscles and surrounding tissues.

Endorectal ultrasound requires little to no patient preparation. During the procedure, the patient is positioned in the left lateral decubitus position. A condom filled with ultrasound-conductive gel is placed over the ultrasound transducer, lubricated, and gently inserted into the anal canal. The 360-degree endorectal ultrasound examination is generally well tolerated by most patients.

The procedure produces detailed images of the anal sphincter complex and other pelvic floor structures, including the puborectalis muscle and the internal and external anal sphincters. These images can help identify sphincter defects, pelvic floor injuries, and other structural abnormalities. Images may be stored electronically, with relevant measurements and defects labeled, and incorporated into the patient’s electronic medical record for documentation and future clinical reference.



Surface electromyography (sEMG) is one of the principal techniques used to evaluate the internal and external anal sphincters and pelvic floor muscles. Paradoxical sEMG testing is used to assess paradoxical contraction of the puborectalis muscle during defecation. The patient is generally placed in the left lateral position. This noninvasive study is performed using surface electrodes. Active electrodes are placed perianally, and a ground electrode is placed on the patient. Sphincter muscle activity is evaluated at rest and during push (strain) and squeeze maneuvers.

Anorectal manometry is a fundamental test of anorectal function used to evaluate patients with constipation, fecal incontinence, or both. It can provide useful information about the pathophysiology of these disorders and other conditions that may cause anorectal pain. The study measures anorectal pressures, muscle tone at rest and during voluntary squeezing, and coordination between the rectum and anal sphincters.

The most important parameters evaluated during testing include maximal voluntary squeeze pressure, resting and relaxation pressures, the rectoanal inhibitory reflex (RAIR) in response to rectal distention, rectal sensory volume thresholds, sphincter length including the high-pressure zone (HPZ), and defecation dynamics assessed through a balloon expulsion study.

The study is performed with the patient in the left lateral position. Bowel preparation is recommended. A four-channel catheter with a compliant balloon at its distal end is inserted approximately 6 cm into the rectum for pressure monitoring. Measurements are obtained at 1 cm intervals.

Maximal voluntary squeeze pressure is measured by asking the patient to squeeze as forcefully as possible for 10–20 seconds. The maneuver is repeated one or two times, with 10–20 seconds of rest or muscle relaxation between attempts. The RAIR is the relaxation of the proximal internal anal sphincter in response to rectal distention. This reflex is evaluated by inflating a balloon within the rectal lumen and observing for a decrease in resting anal pressure. A decrease of at least 50% from the resting pressure following rectal distention in at least one channel is considered a positive reflex.

Rectal sensation testing, also referred to as measurement of rectal sensory volume thresholds, consists of intermittent balloon distention of the rectum. This testing provides information about the rectal volumes that produce sensation and elicit the urge to defecate. Sensory information generated by rectal distention is transmitted to the brain. Fecal continence is maintained through the resting tone and coordinated reflex activity of the internal and external anal sphincters, together with the pelvic floor muscles. Rectal compliance is calculated using data obtained during rectal balloon sensation testing. It reflects the rectum’s capacity and ability to distend.

Balloon expulsion testing may be performed to simulate defecation. The patient’s ability or inability to expel the balloon, as well as the time required for expulsion, is recorded.



Bladder ultrasound imaging is a non-invasive medical procedure that uses high-frequency sound waves to create images of the bladder. During the process, a small handheld device called a transducer is placed against the skin of the lower abdomen or perineum to emit sound waves that bounce off the bladder and surrounding tissues. The reflected sound waves are then converted into images that can be viewed on a computer screen in real-time.

Bladder ultrasound imaging is used to diagnose and monitor various bladder conditions, such as bladder stones, bladder tumors, urinary tract infections, and urinary incontinence. It can also evaluate the bladder’s size, shape, and capacity.

The procedure is relatively quick and painless and requires no radiation or invasive procedures. Bladder ultrasound imaging is safe for people of all ages, including pregnant women, and can be performed in a doctor’s office or clinic.

Overall, bladder ultrasound imaging is an essential diagnostic tool for evaluating bladder health and function and is a safe and non-invasive option for patients who require bladder imaging.



Transperineal ultrasound imaging is a non-invasive medical procedure used to visualize and assess the health of the pelvic region. During the process, a small handheld device called a transducer is placed against the skin of the perineum, which is the area between the anus and the scrotum in men or between the anus and the vulva in women. The transducer emits high-frequency sound waves that bounce off the internal organs and tissues, creating images that can be viewed in real-time on a computer screen.

Transperineal ultrasound imaging is commonly used to diagnose and monitor various conditions affecting the pelvic region, including prostate cancer, bladder disorders, and pelvic floor dysfunction. It is also used during pregnancy to monitor the health and development of the fetus.

The procedure is relatively quick and painless and involves no radiation or invasive procedures. In addition, transperineal ultrasound imaging is a safe and effective alternative to traditional imaging techniques that may require contrast agents or involve radiation exposure.

Overall, transperineal ultrasound imaging is an essential tool in diagnosing and treating various conditions affecting the pelvic region and is a safe and non-invasive option for patients who require imaging of this area.



A video urodynamic test is a diagnostic procedure that combines cystometry and fluoroscopy to evaluate the bladder and urinary tract function during urination. It is typically performed to diagnose urinary incontinence, urinary retention, and other disorders.

During a video urodynamic test, a catheter is inserted into the bladder through the urethra to measure bladder pressure and urine flow rate. Another catheter is placed in the rectum to measure intra-abdominal pressure. The patient is then positioned under a fluoroscopy machine, which uses X-rays to produce real-time images of the urinary tract as the patient urinates. The procedure may also include a pelvic ultrasound to evaluate the structures of the pelvic area.

The video urodynamic test provides detailed information about bladder and urethral function, including bladder capacity, sensation, and obstructions or abnormalities. It can also identify the type of urinary incontinence and help determine the most appropriate treatment.

The test is usually performed in a hospital or clinic setting and can take approximately 30 to 60 minutes to complete. It is generally considered a safe and minimally invasive procedure, although some patients may experience mild discomfort during catheter insertion or urination.



Electromyography (EMG) is a diagnostic technique used to evaluate the electrical activity of muscles and nerves. It is often used to diagnose neuromuscular disorders, such as muscular dystrophy, myasthenia gravis, and peripheral neuropathy.

During an EMG test, a small, thin needle electrode is inserted through the skin into the muscle being studied. The electrode detects the electrical activity of the muscle while it is at rest and during contraction. The electrical signals are amplified and displayed on a monitor, allowing the technician or doctor to analyze the muscle activity.

In addition to detecting muscle and nerve disorders, EMG can also be used to determine the severity of a disorder and monitor treatment progress. The test is usually performed in a hospital or clinic setting and takes approximately 30 to 60 minutes. It is generally considered a safe and painless procedure, although some patients may experience mild discomfort while inserting the needle electrode.



A pressure flow study is a diagnostic test used to evaluate the bladder and urinary tract function during urination. It is typically performed when there is suspicion of bladder outlet obstruction, which can occur due to conditions such as benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlarged prostate), urethral stricture, or pelvic organ prolapse.

During a pressure flow study, a catheter is inserted into the bladder through the urethra, and another catheter is inserted into the rectum to measure intra-abdominal pressure. The bladder is then filled with sterile water or saline at a controlled rate while the pressure inside the bladder and urine volume is measured. The patient is asked to void while the pressure and urine flow are measured and recorded.

The results of the pressure flow study can help diagnose bladder outlet obstruction and determine its severity. The test provides information about the pressure and flow of urine during voiding, which can indicate the presence of an obstruction in the bladder outlet or urethra. Treatment for bladder outlet obstruction may include medication, surgery, or other interventions, depending on the underlying cause and the severity of the condition.

A pressure flow study is a specialized test typically performed in a hospital or clinic setting and may take 30 to 60 minutes to complete. A urologist or a trained healthcare professional usually performs it.



Cystometry is a diagnostic test used to measure the pressure and volume of urine inside the bladder during bladder filling and emptying. This test is often performed to evaluate the bladder’s function and diagnose urinary disorders such as urinary incontinence, urinary retention, and overactive bladder.

During cystometry, a catheter is inserted into the bladder through the urethra, and another catheter is inserted into the rectum to measure intra-abdominal pressure. The bladder is then filled with sterile water or saline at a controlled rate while the pressure inside the bladder and urine volume is measured. The patient is also asked to report any sensations of fullness or discomfort during bladder filling and to urinate when instructed to do so to measure the pressure and volume of urine during bladder emptying.

The results of cystometry can help diagnose conditions such as detrusor overactivity (involuntary contractions of the bladder muscle), stress urinary incontinence (leakage of urine during physical activity or coughing), and bladder outlet obstruction (blockage of urine flow from the bladder). The test is usually performed in a hospital or clinic setting and may take about 30 to 60 minutes to complete.



Uroflowmetry is a non-invasive diagnostic test that measures the rate and volume of urine flow during voiding (urination). This test is often performed to evaluate urinary symptoms such as a weak stream, frequent urination, incomplete bladder emptying, or difficulty initiating urination.

During the test, the patient urinates into a special toilet or urinal equipped with a device to measure the rate of urine flow. The test records the speed of the urine flow, the volume of urine voided, and the time to empty the bladder. The test results can provide important information about the functioning of the bladder and the urinary tract, including any blockages or abnormalities that may be present.

Uroflowmetry is a simple and painless procedure that typically takes only a few minutes to complete. It is often used with other diagnostic tests, such as a bladder scan or cystoscopy, to help diagnose and manage urinary conditions.
