Abstract
An instrument (10) for the treatment of incontinence by exercise of the muscle group that includes the puboccygeous muscle furnishes electrical energy to induce muscle contraction. Energy is provided according to a pre-established exercise program at energizing rings (16, 18) at the forward, insertion section of the instrument. All variables of the exercise program are pre-established by internal electronic circuitry (FIG. 4) except energy level. Control of energy level is left to the user at touch switch elements (20, 22, 24) at the rear of the instrument.
