With its 24 advanced electrodes on a small internal probe, MAPLe can accurately detect muscle tension, weakness, inactivity, and overactivity in each individual pelvic floor muscle. This detailed analysis is essential for crafting a personalised pelvic floor muscle rehabilitation programme tailored to your needs.
MAPLe for Pelvic Floor
The MAPLe is a state-of-the-art medical device designed for the precise assessment and treatment of pelvic floor dysfunction.
Why Accurate Diagnosis Matters
Effective treatment of pelvic floor dysfunction begins with a thorough and accurate diagnosis. The MAPLe device offers two key features to support this process:
– EMG (Electromyography): MAPLe provides real-time biofeedback, allowing you to pinpoint muscles that need activation or relaxation. By recognising electrical activity in the muscles, both at rest and during contraction, it guides you towards proper muscle function.
– EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulation):MAPLe can also deliver gentle electrical stimulation to individual muscles. This enhances muscle strength, sensory training, and helps restore normal function across the entire pelvic floor.
Conditions Treated with MAPLe
Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy using the MAPLe device can effectively address a wide range of conditions in both men and women, including:
– Stress Incontinence
– Urge Incontinence
– Faecal Incontinence
– Overactive Bladder / Painful Bladder Syndrome
– Coccyx Pain
– Prolapse
– Pelvic Pain
Whether you’re dealing with incontinence, pain, or other pelvic floor issues, the MAPLe device provides targeted and effective treatment, helping you regain control and improve your quality of life.
Frequently Asked Questions
The MAPLe is a state-of-the-art medical device designed for the precise assessment and treatment of pelvic floor dysfunction. It uses a small internal probe with 24 advanced electrodes to detect muscle tension, weakness, inactivity and overactivity in each individual pelvic floor muscle, allowing for a fully personalised rehabilitation programme.
MAPLe uses EMG (Electromyography) to provide real-time biofeedback, recognising electrical activity in your muscles both at rest and during contraction. This precise analysis identifies which muscles need to be activated or relaxed, helping create a much more targeted treatment plan than standard assessments.
Pelvic floor physiotherapy using MAPLe is effective for both men and women and can address stress incontinence, urge incontinence, faecal incontinence, overactive bladder, painful bladder syndrome, coccyx pain, pelvic organ prolapse and pelvic pain.
EMG (Electromyography) measures the electrical activity of your muscles and provides real-time biofeedback so you can see exactly how they are working. EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulation) delivers gentle electrical stimulation to individual muscles, enhancing muscle strength, sensory training and helping restore normal function across the entire pelvic floor.
No. The MAPLe probe is small and the electrical stimulation it delivers is gentle. Most clients tolerate it very well. Your physiotherapist will explain every step and adjust the treatment to your comfort level throughout the session.
Yes. The MAPLe device is suitable for both men and women experiencing pelvic floor dysfunction. It is particularly useful for incontinence, pelvic pain, prolapse symptoms in women, and post-prostate surgery recovery in men.
