Re: biofeedback for incontinence

[Guest guest]

You may want to contact Barb Bauman, PT, President of the Women's Health

Section (barbbauman@...). I'm sure she can direct you to some great

resources. Also, Bob Kellogg, PT, PhD (mkellogg@...) who

is President of the Section on Clinical Electrophysiology can probably help

you as well. The Clin. Electro Section is developing a position paper on

the use of biofeedback and electrical stim in the management of urinary

incontinence. Hope this is helpful. Sinnott, Acute Care Section

President.
