Summary
This study aims to better understand how the anal muscles work in healthy people and those with fecal incontinence. Researchers will use a device called Fecobionics, which looks and feels like real stool, to measure pressures and angles during simulated bowel movements. The goal is to improve diagnosis and treatment, not to test a new therapy. About 155 adults will participate.
