Electromyographic Signal as Feedback for Pelvic Floor Muscle Rehabilitation and Training

In the present world, most people are engaged in routine office work. This factor contributes to high inactivity in the musculoskeletal system and the body. Disorders of the muscular structure and pelvic ligaments may also be caused by dyssynergic defecation, surgical intervention, degenerative disease, pregnancy and childbirth in women, muscle relaxants, narcotics, and similar factors. Therefore, developing physiotherapy methods and a fitness training plan is a highly relevant task today. The novelty of this research lies in developing a new approach to rehabilitating and training pelvic floor muscles using the electromyographic signal as biofeedback. The study object is the rehabilitation and training of pelvic floor muscles. The study subject is the method of rehabilitation and training of pelvic floor muscles using the EMG signal. The study aims to develop a physiotherapy method and a fitness training plan. The author applied general scientific methods such as analysis, experimentation, observation, and classification to achieve the purpose and address the study objectives. The study draws upon the works of foreign and Russian researchers in rehabilitation and physiotherapy of the pelvic floor muscles, processing and classification of electromyographic signals, and the evaluation and analysis of muscular activity. Within the framework of this study, a method of pelvic floor muscle training using biofeedback was proposed. The article presents the method of pelvic floor muscle training with biofeedback, illustrating what an EMG signal looks like and describing exercises based on electromyography. A 10-day training plan is provided. The method of assessing the patient’s condition before and after the training is also described. The author concludes that the proposed method contributes to a positive change in the shape of the EMG signal. The paper presents EMG signals recorded before and after training, clearly showing significant changes in the shape and stability of muscle activity levels.
