What is Urinary Incontinence? Urinary incontinence is the uncontrolled leakage of urine upon laughing, coughing, sneezing and exercising, and 40% of all women in their 40's and older suffer from urinary incontinence. Urinary incontinence is increasingly recognized as a significant problem for the past decade. Depending on the effect of the detrusor muscle, urinary incontinence is classified into urge, stress and mixed urinary incontinence Women experience incontinence twice as often as men. Pregnancy and childbirth, menopause, and the structure of the female urinary tract account for this difference. But both women and men can become incontinent from neurological injury, birth defects, strokes, multiple sclerosis, and physical problems associated with aging. |
Principle of Magnetic Stimulation If time-varying magnetic field is induced to electric conductor like metal, eddy current is created within the electric conductor by Faraday's law. Electric conductibility of human body is far lower than highly-conductible materials like metals, but it still has substantial electricity conductibility. Accordingly, if the time-varying magnetic filed is induced to the body, eddy current will be created within the body like common electric conductor. Eddy current created in the body through non-contact method without direct electric current has the same treatment effect as the electric current which is introduced to the body through electrode. |
