Abstract
A fully ambulatory urodynamics monitoring (AUM) system was developed in this study. Conventional cystometry (CMG) and AUM were performed for 28 patients with neurogenic bladders caused by spinal cord injury (24 males and 4 females, age: 49.4±13.9 years, BMI: 23.5 ±2.4). As a result, 10 of the patients were diagnosed as having different reflexibility of the bladder between conventional CMG and AUM (p<0.05), and in the patients with areflexic bladders the number of patients with detrusor overactivity was higher in AUM and leakage was observed more frequently. These results demonstrated that our system could be a useful additional tool in the clinical assessment of patients in which CMG failed to explain their symptoms. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.
