  • Abstract
    Incontinence is the urination disorder as the leakage of urine without her own volition and the woman´s representative disease which reduces the quality of life. The electromagnetic therapy has high possibility of development because it has no needs of operant exercise, no arousing of shame and impossibility of infection. But, it has improvement points such as uniformity of the treatment protocol, patient dependence and absent of patient monitoring system. With these demands, the system which stimulate the pelvic flaw muscle with electromagnetic and monitoring the patient status during the therapy is proposed, in this study. The developed patient adapted electromagnetic therapy system with monitoring device is regarded as the patient affinitive treating method by reducing the risks, improving the efficiency with patterned protocol and pre/post therapy. These results, in this study, can bring the safe and organized treatment method to incontinence patients and can lead to a variable study on electromagnetic therapy in urine incontinence.
