External sphincter response
Is the maximum pressure on the EAS channel between marker [A] and marker
[C]. This result is only calculated when an EAS channel is present.
9.5.11 Sensation Test
The sensations should be marked with sensation markers. Normally sensation
markers are already placed during the investigation. You can reposition the
sensation markers, or insert new markers if sensations are not marked during
the investigation.
The following sensation results will be calculated:
•
Sensation volume
•
Pressure at sensation
Sensation results are displayed for all sensation markers present in the
investigation. If multiple markers of the same sensation type are present, the
result for all these markers are displayed.
9.5.12 Anal Rest and Squeeze Profiles
When the investigation is stopped, the program will automatically insert two
internal sphincter markers for each profile in the test data. These two markers
will be located between the profile markers around the maximum pressure.
The software will calculate the average internal sphincter pressure between
these two markers. It is possible to reposition these markers, if desired.
