Abstrakt		Simultaneous electromyographic (EMG) recordings with intramuscular wire electrodes from the left and right pubococcygeal muscles were performed to elucidate the neurophysiological effect of vaginal cones on the pelvic floor muscles. Ten continent nulliparous women (aged 22-32 years) and 20 stress urinary incontinent parous women (aged 27-60 years, average 2-4 deliveries) were examined before, during holding and after removal of the cone. All the continent nulliparous women could retain the cone in the vagina (mean weight 83.5 g (range 70-85 g). In the incontinent paraous group 7 women could not hold any cone, 9 women could hold the 45 g cone, 1 the 32.5 g cone and 3 women the 57.5 g cone. There was a significant voluntary holding time difference between continent nulliparous and incontinent paraous women. The study reveals that vaginal cones may induce both strengthening of muscles as well as a learning effect leading towards a better coordinated muscle activation.
