[0037] Figure 5 An exploded view of a second embodiment of the invention is shown. Using a force sensing resistor ( Figure 6a shown) instead of the parallel beam-plate mechanism. Unlike the first embodiment, which uses a planetary gear set, the cover (1) comprises sub-acm threads (12) on which the circuit board frame (13a) rides. The circuit board (13) is nestable within the circuit board frame (13a). Turning the cover (1) in one direction pushes the circuit board (13) towards the cover (1) and turning the cover (1) in the opposite direction pushes the circuit away from the cover (1) via the adjustment screw (7) and the first anchor (8a) board (13). Note that the movement mechanisms may be interchangeable for either embodiment, and are not described here for parallel beam-plate mechanisms or force-sensing resistor mechanisms. At least one battery (15) powers the electronics in the device. At least one second finger (9b) is secured coaxially to the circuit board (13) at...

Abstract

A perineal contractility meter device for providing accurate biofeedback, comprising: a cap (1) coupled to a tubular member (11); at least one first finger (9a) and at least one plate (18) or at least one second finger (9b) and at least one force sensing resistor (17), the at least one plate (18) or force sensing resistor (17) being arranged inside the at least one finger (9a, 9b) and parallel to the at least one finger (9a, 9b); at least one battery (15) for applying a potential difference to the at least one first finger (9a) and the at least one plate (18); means for measuring the capacitance thus produced, or at least one force sensing capacitor (17) for measuring the force applied to the at least one second finger (9b); and a processor connected to the means for applying the potential difference and measuring the capacitance or to the at least one force sensing resistor (17).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a perineal contraction meter device for sphincter exercise. Background technique [0002] Weakened pelvic floor muscles cause the internal organs to not be fully supported by the muscles and cause difficulty in controlling the release of urine, feces, or air. Pelvic floor exercises are designed to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles and prevent the need for corrective surgery. Training to strengthen the pectineus can promote the function of the urethral and anal sphincters, thereby preventing urinary and anal incontinence. [0003] U.S. Patent US8088051B2 discloses an adjustable sphincter exerciser (Kegel exerciser), which includes: a flexible tubular member; at least one sleeve mounted to the tubular member; a main body inserted into the In the tubular member; a conductive device, the conductive device is connected to the main body and located in the tubular member, when the tubular member is compressed, the conducti...
