Electromyographic (EMG) and Mechanomyographic (MMG) Comparison

University Hospital, Grenoble16 enrolled

Overview

The purpose of this study is to assess the delay between the detection (by mechanomyography-MMG) of rectus abdominis contraction and the detection of cough in cough effort.

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Enrollment

Conditions

Stress Urinary Incontinence

Interventions

non invasive mechanomyographic device based on a 3 axes accelerometerDEVICE

This biomedical research consists specifically in the simultaneous acquisition of: * EMG and MMG Signals of rectus abdominis of the abdomen, * Respiratory flow, * An electrocardiogram (ECG). These acquisitions will be conducted on 16 healthy volunteers according to a standardized protocol, at rest and during voluntary cough and various physical exercises often resulting in urinary leakage in the incontinent person.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Delay between the detection by mechanomyography (MMG) of rectus abdominis contraction and the detection of cough in cough effort

Time frame: 2 hours

Secondary Outcomes

Lower and upper spectral band frequencies values for which the majority of the MMG signal is present, thresholds for detection of rectus abdominis contraction by mechanical myography

Time frame: 2 hours
