Device for training the pelvic floor muscles

Abstract

The training device (9), which is provided for training body parts of a user, in particular the hip muscles, gluteal muscles or pelvic muscles or the arm muscles, comprises a compressive-force receiver (1), which is deformable under the impact of muscular force and which comprises a pressure chamber (10) in which a gel-like, liquid or gaseous medium is provided, a base (2) which, on the one hand, is supportable on a supporting surface and, on the other hand, serves for holding the compressive-force receiver (1), and at least one sensor (51), such as a pressure sensor or a force sensor, with which the medium is in contact and with which the pressure of the medium in the pressure chamber (10) is measurable. According to the invention the compressive-force receiver (1) comprises an elastically deformable first receiver part (11) and a second receiver part (12) which are connected form-fittingly, force-fittingly, or integrally to one another; the first receiver part (11) comprises a wall system (15) which serves to receive the muscular force and which delimits the pressure chamber (10) at the top and at least partially laterally; the second receiver part (12) comprises a bottom unit (16) which delimits the underside of the pressure chamber (10) and which adjoins the wall system (15); the second receiver part (12) has a lower elasticity than the first receiver part (11), preferably in parallel to the direction in which the muscular force acts; and the second receiver part (12) is connected releasably, form-fittingly or force-fittingly, or integrally to the base (2).
