Abstract
Summary This paper describes the use of biofeedback as an adjunct to pelvic floor exercises in the conservative management of incontinence caused by pelvic laxity. Sophisticated biofeedback equipment facilitates the teaching of different types of pelvic floor muscle exercises, for example isometric contractions, both maximal and submaximal, and isotonic contractions varying in speed and intensity, which can then be more easily learned and incorporated into a re-education programme. Study of the literature supports the use of biofeedback, but further well-controlled clinical trials are necessary to justify the extra cost of equipment.
