Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Atividade bioelétrica dos músculos do assoalho pélvico durante o uso de educador vaginal inovador: estudo transversal(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2022-11-08) DUARTE, Natália de Souza; MELO NETO, João Simão de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1547661999153615; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4681-8532The pelvic floor needs an integral anatomical structure due to its multiple functions. Therefore, innovative equipment is needed to improve this structure. The aim of this study was to analyze the effects of using the innovative iGeni vaginal trainer on the bioelectrical activity of the pelvic floor muscles, in addition to analyzing the different hip positions and interference factors such as age group, childbirth, sexual activity, urinary incontinence and menopause. For this, a cross-sectional study was designed, composed of 30 women, who were evaluated using the following instruments: evaluation form, International Consultation On Incontinence Questionnaire - Short Form and surface electromyography. The collected findings were: RMS of the 5-second period of contraction, peak RMS values, area values, %MVC (RMS normalized by peak signal) and median frequency. These findings were compared without and with the use of iGeni, in anteversion, neutral and retroversion pelvic positions. The results showed that the use of iGeni increased the electromyographic activity of the pelvic floor muscles in the neutral position. Women in conditions of greater tendency to dysfunction of this musculature also benefited, increasing bioelectrical activity under specific conditions. It was then concluded that this innovative biofeedback equipment was effective in the greater recruitment of muscle fibers and that it has greater effectiveness in the neutral position of the hip, being able to be an effective ally in the training of this musculature.
