1. A method for diagnosing or treating urinary incontinence in a subject comprising:
a) inserting into a rectum of the subject a device comprising a handle and a probe configured to enter the rectum, wherein the probe comprises microelectromechanical (MEM) accelerometers positioned along a length of the probe and wherein the device lacks accelerometers in the handle,
b) determining and visualizing on a graphical user interface a position of the accelerometers of the probe as a representation of an anatomical position of a bladder, bladder neck, or urethra of the subject in real-time, and
c) manipulating the anatomical position of the bladder, bladder neck, or urethra relative to at least one fixed anatomical reference point selected from the group consisting of a pubic bone, a coccyx, a bladder, a urethra, a prostate, and a rectum, thereby diagnosing or relieving the incontinence.
