Figure 1 Diagram of a modified manometric protocol that substitutes surface abdominal EMG electrodes for rectal pressure to measure extraneous abdominal contraction. The figure also shows an intravaginal EMG probe positioned above the urogenital diaphragm (arrows). A catheter shown in the bladder records changes in bladder pressure and transmission of intra-abdominal pressure to the bladder from contracting abdominal muscles.
