Clinical Outcome of EMG-Based Pelvic Floor Biofeedback in Patients With Constipation-Impact of Prior Anorectal Manometry/Balloon Expulsion Test for Patient Selection. A Retrospective Study.

A retrospective study examined whether prior anorectal manometry and balloon expulsion testing improved patient selection for EMG-based pelvic floor biofeedback therapy in individuals with constipation. Findings shed light on how pre-procedural diagnostic workup may influence clinical outcomes for this biofeedback intervention. The study is relevant to PTs providing pelvic floor rehabilitation, as appropriate patient selection tools can help direct biofeedback therapy to those most likely to benefit.
