Dysfunctional disorders of the pelvic floor are very widespread. In Germany, more than five million people are believed to suffer from incontinence. At present, centers specializing in the field of continence and offering a full range of diagnostic measures are being established all over the country. Neurophysiological examinations are part of these measures, of course, which is why all big departments must provide for them and be familiar with them. Each of these individual examinations has its particular focus and relevance. An EMG with a concentric needle electrode, for instance, can be regarded as a screening test. The latency period of the pudendal nerve is rarely measured and determines the terminal distance of the pudendal nerve. Pudendal nerve SSEP is simple to carry out and has become an established procedure; its application, however, is restricted to particular investigations regarding sensory conduction. All other neurophysiological examinations are presently limited to specific exploration.
