: Micromotions have been observed in many animal studies and nowadays are considered as a basic urological phenomenon. In a study of micromotions in human it has been shown that micromotions are related to bladder sensation and urge. This conclusion has been referred to by many authors. The need for models of how spontaneous contractions influence pressure generation is formulated at a ICRS meeting in 2018.
: In present article we derive from previously published observations a new physiological meaning of micromotions in relation to the accommodation of bladder pressure to bladder volume and to bladder shape by considering accommodation as an active process. This active component in accommodation has consequences for clinical evaluation of spontaneous contraction activity. The subject is relevant for clinical urodynamics.
