发明名称 PUBOCOCCYGEAL TRAINING BIOFEEDBACK DEVICE
摘要 A training device is disclosed for exercising the pubococcygeal or pelvic floor muscles, for example, in the treatment of incontinence. The device includes a cylindrical, deformable probe (50) for insertion into the vagina or rectum of a user. The probe is connected to a pressure transducer (110), which detects the pressure applied to the probe b y contraction of the pelvic floor muscles, and displays a pressure indicator (76). The pressure indicator( 76) may take the form of a series of nested figures (146), such as curves or concentric semi-circles, that incrementally converge toward a common point as pressure on the probe increases. The training unit guides the user through an exercise routing. The training unit can include a controller (168) that tracks the timing of exercises performed by the user, guides the user through alternating cycles of muscular contraction, and relaxation.
