Monitoring of contraction activity of uterine muscle is important diagnostic tool used both during pregnancy and labour. The strain of pregnant uterus exerted on maternal abdomen is measured via external tocography. However, limitation of this approach has caused a development of other technique – electrohysterography, which is based on recording an electrical uterine activity. The comparison between electrohysterography and tocography was made due to the possibility of the simultaneous recording of mechanical and electrical uterine muscle activity. The results obtained show that both methods demonstrate high agreement in relation to the number of contractions recognized as being consistent.
