In addition concentric needle EMG of the external anal sphincter was performed to exclude far\u2010field recording. A medtronic InterStim tined lead (model 3889) was used as stimulation source. Standard SNM parameters (monophasic pulsed square wave, 210\u2009microseconds, 14\u2009Hz) were used to stimulate five different bipolar electrode configurations (3+0\u2212\/3+2\u2212\/3+1\u2212\/0+3\u2212\/1+3\u2212) up to and around the sensory threshold. Of each EMG signal the stimulation intensity needed to evoke the EMG signals as well as its amplitude and latency were determined. Linear mixed models was used to analyse the data.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Twenty female patients and 100 lead electrode configurations were stimulated around the sensory response threshold resulting in 722 stimulations and 12 times as many (8664) EMG recordings. A significant increase in EMG amplitude was seen upon increasing stimulation intensity (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u2009.0001). Large differences were noted between the EMG amplitude recorded at the different sides (ipsilateral&gt;posterior&gt;anterior&gt;contralateral) and depths (deep&gt;center&gt;superficial) of the pelvic floor. These differences were noted for all lead electrodes configurations stimulated (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u2009.0001). Larger EMG amplitudes were measured when the active electrode was located near the entry point of the sacral spinal nerves through the sacral foramen (electrode #3). No differences in EMG latency could be withheld, most likely due to the sacral neuroanatomy (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&gt;\u2009.05).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>A distinct activation pattern of the PFM could be identified for all stimulated lead electrode configurations.
