Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the delay between the detection (by mechanomyography-MMG) of rectus abdominis contraction and the detection of cough in cough effort.

Interventions

DEVICEnon invasive mechanomyographic device based on a 3 axes accelerometer

This biomedical research consists specifically in the simultaneous acquisition of: * EMG and MMG Signals of rectus abdominis of the abdomen, * Respiratory flow, * An electrocardiogram (ECG). These acquisitions will be conducted on 16 healthy volunteers according to a standardized protocol, at rest and during voluntary cough and various physical exercises often resulting in urinary leakage in the incontinent person.
