Contraction Indicator:
When fitted to the PERIFORM
the performance of the pelvic floor muscles. It may be used on its own or when using
stimulation and biofeedback equipment. When pelvic floor muscles contract correctly the
indicator will move downwards (✓).
Moving upwards indicates incorrect contraction (X) as shown in Figure 2.
Functions and benefits of the Indicator are:
• Quantifies the strength and duration
of voluntary and involuntary
(stimulated) contractions. N.B. Voluntary
contractions can be used to reinforce
stimulated contractions.
• Indicates need to use stimulation
to strengthen a weak pelvic floor –
i.e. little or no indicator movement.
• Teaches bracing techniques to help
avoid leakage when coughing /
sneezing / straining etc.
