Abstract :
A technique has been developed to detect local movements in bladder wall. These micromotions (MMs) are assumed to play an important role in the origin of urge sensations. The MMD-16 interface in combination with a special designed MMD probe is able to detect MMs at 8 or 16 locations. A pilot study with 11 patients demonstrated the relevance of recording the MMs in addition to routine urodynamic examination
