Definitions
- the present invention relates to a device which is used to train the muscles of the pelvic floor of a person. It contains pressure or force transducers that are placed externally to the human body. The coupling of the very soft muscles to a suitable pressure force absorption unit with feedback options takes place while sitting and thus by gravity.
- a training device for the same problem is known, for example, from US Pat. No. 5,531,226.
- the known training device comprises a tube body which expands again elastically after compression. It is not precisely defined where this can be compressed.
- a major disadvantage of such training devices is that they e.g. must be worn directly on the skin for them to have an effect. This means that such a device can only be used individually or must be cleaned thoroughly before or after use.
- a training device for training the pelvic floor muscles which comprises a saddle-like element with built-in control and stimulation means, which is applied to the body and can selectively exert pressure at various points.
- the invention has for its object to provide a training device for the pelvic floor muscles, which enables a defined simple pressure or force measurement on the pelvic floor muscles.
- the invention thus relates to a training device for training human pelvic floor muscles, which is provided for training for external application to the human body directly or indirectly between the two sit bones while sitting.
- the training device comprises a compressive force absorption unit which is compressible at least on the side facing the pelvic floor and is expandable on a side not facing the pelvic floor, a force transducer coupled to the compressive force absorbing unit on its expandable side, and a feedback unit for the generation connected to the force transducer a feedback signal, for example vibrations of the filling.
- the state of the muscle activity just measured can be stimulated again via the coupling measuring unit itself.
- a training device with a pressure force absorption unit is created so that the force emanating from the pelvic floor muscles can always be coupled vertically. This is possible because the pressure force is is compressible on all sides and the pressure force unit is located between the sit bones of the pelvic floor during operation. Without muscle activity, only gravity works, which can be compensated electronically.
- the training device according to the invention comprises a few components and is easy to manufacture.
- the training device according to the invention can be used without having to be worn on the body. This is more hygienic than known training equipment and measures more precisely because of the pressure sensor system and the seated posture of the user. During the tightening of the pelvic floor, a muscle pressure force arises that can be measured precisely.
- the pressure force transducer comprises a radially elastic body filled with liquid, gel or gas and a sensor which is suitable for measuring pressure force.
- the pressure force measuring units and or feedback units can be set to a zero position during operation. This separates the weight-related signal and the tension in the pelvic floor muscles can only be measured.
- the measured pressure force of the pelvic floor muscles is evaluated as an amplitude as a function of time in an assigned evaluation or control unit. This makes it possible to display the different phases of the training (rest, tension, and relaxation) for the user, which increases the effectiveness of the training. This information can be represented, for example, by the amplitude and frequency (tensing and relaxing) of the waveforms. External devices can be connected for evaluation, e.g. Printers, personal computers and the like.
- the training device can comprise a receiving seat element in which the compressive force receiving unit is positioned. is tionable. As a result, the training device is easy to use and can be integrated on a chair seat surface or as a seat for a fitness device or the like. A device for adjusting the height of the pressure absorption unit with respect to the seat part can be provided. An arrangement of the pressure force absorption unit that is comfortable for the user can achieve better contact with the force transducer, which improves the signal quality.
- FIG. 1 is an exploded view showing a first embodiment of the exercise device according to the invention
- FIG. 2 is a sectional view of the training device of FIG. 1,
- FIG. 3 shows a schematic representation of a training device during use
- Fig. 4 is a perspective view of a second embodiment of the tramming device according to the invention with seat
- Fig. 5 is a sectional view of a further embodiment of the exercise device according to the invention with a seat part.
- FIG. 1 shows an exploded view and FIG. 2 shows a sectional view of a first embodiment of the training device 10 for the pelvic floor muscles according to the invention.
- the training device 10 comprises an easily deformable part (Full media; liquids, gels or gases in a round body or the like) as a pressure force absorption unit 11, which is held in a radially expandable and axially non-expandable, sleeve-like body 12.
- the sleeve body 12 ensures that the compressive force absorption unit 11 can only be deformed, ie compressed, in the radial direction by compressive force. It can only be expanded in the axial direction on the sensor-side end face 13.
- the composition of the pressure force absorption unit 11 and the sleeve body 12 can be held in a base plate 14.
- the compressive force absorption unit 11 is made, for example, from an elastic round body which is filled with liquid, gel or gas.
- a housing 15 can also be inserted into the base plate 14.
- the housing 15 has space for a display unit 16, e.g. an LCD display, various actuation buttons (Em / Aus button 17, zero button 18) and several other switching elements, which are arranged for example on a printed circuit board (PCB) 19 with components which can be provided with a USB port 20, for example.
- the housing 15 offers space for a holding body 24 in which, for example, batteries 25 can be placed.
- the holding body 24 also carries a pressure force sensor 21, a pressure force distributor or actuator 22 for initiating muscle-stimulating functions and a pressure conductor 23. These ensure that a pressure force introduction to the pressure force sensor 21 is passed on exactly.
- the housing 15 can be positioned at various points in relation to the pressure force absorption unit 11 and the sleeve body 12. This can be done in many ways known to those skilled in the art, for example with a self-locking slot in the bottom plate 14.
- FIG. 3 shows a schematic representation of a tram rates during application. It is illustrated how the pelvic floor training device 10 according to the invention can be used in practice
- the pelvic floor of a person consists of a number of bony structures that are held together by muscles.
- the most important bony structures in the pelvic floor are the two sit bones 50 (Tuber Ischiadicum), the pubic bone 51 (Os Pubis), the coccyx 52 (Os Coccygis) and the sacrum 53 (Os Sacrum).
- the pelvic floor training device 10 is used by one person while sitting. Both seat bones 50 are located parallel to the side of the device 10.
- the pelvic floor (the permeum) is stretched, on the one hand by the pressure force absorbing unit 11 and on the other hand because the seat bones are caused by the action of gravity move apart on the axis of rotation 54 of the pelvic joint.
- the seat bones 50 are moved towards each other again, as a result of which the compressive force absorption unit 11 is radially compressed.
- the pressure force absorption unit 11 cannot expand because the base plate is stiff and the pelvic floor muscles on the upper side try to return to their normal position. As a result, the pressure force absorption unit 11 is simultaneously radially compressed from above and from the side.
- the pressure force absorption unit 11 can only exert the pressure force generated in it on the side of the force pressure sensor 21. All the forces exerted during the training are thus transmitted from the pressure force absorption unit 11 and forwarded to the pressure force sensor 21.
- the signal of the pressure force sensor 21 is processed (electronically or mechanically) into a feedback signal , which shows the user how tense the pelvic floor muscles are. represents that the device 10 without tension on the pelvic floor muscles on its display device 16 displays zero force. This separates the large weight from the small measurement signal. Any change in the tension in the pelvic floor muscle is thus visible in the feedback signal.
- the different phases of the training can be made understandable and visible, both quantitatively and qualitatively.
- the feedback can take place with the aid of a display unit 16, for example in the form of an audio signal or optically by means of a pointer or analog or digital display 16.
- the electronics unit 19 is provided with components such as a processor and associated storage elements which are designed to amplify and store the signal of the pressure force sensor 21 and to generate a feedback signal which is forwarded to the display unit 16.
- the electronics unit 19 is supplied by a battery, built-in solar cells or an external power source.
- FIG. 4 shows another embodiment of the training device 10 according to the invention.
- the device is additionally provided with a seat part 30, which is provided with a slot at the point where the training device 10 can be inserted.
- the upper side of the seat part preferably has two flat areas 37, which are provided with flat surfaces that drop off to the side and to the front. This results in an optimal sitting position (straight and tense against gravity) for performing the training of the pelvic floor muscles.
- Fig. 5 shows a sectional drawing of yet another embodiment of the invention.
- the pelvic floor drain device is integrated in the seat part. It consists of a lower or base part 33, a holder part 36, on which the pressure force absorption unit 11 is mounted, and an upper part 35, which may be provided with fabric 34.
- the electronics unit 19 can be fastened on the lower part 33 and the batteries 25 underneath it.
- the display unit 16 is arranged above it, possibly with control buttons.
- the compressive force absorption unit 11 is fastened to the holder part 36, but can transmit the force to the compressive force sensor 21.
- the pressure force sensor 21 is fastened to an adjustable sensor holder 31 and receives the force exerted by the pressure force absorption unit 11 via a pressure force mediator or conductor 23 and pressure force distributor (or actuator for initiating muscle-stimulating functions) 22.
- the adjustable sensor holder 31 is attached to the lower part 33. Turning an adjusting device 32 leads to a movement of the sensor holder 31 back and forth. In this way, the device 10 can be adjusted in the idle state so that the pressure force absorption unit 11 just touches the pressure force transmitter 23. This setting can be made individually for each user of different weights.
- the adjustment device 32 is preferably suspended in the base or base part 33 in such a way that the sensor holder 31 can only be adjusted over a restricted range.
