Abstract
The present invention relates to an apparatus for strengthening pelvic floor muscles which can be used even when a user wears clothes and thus can be used comfortably without psychological burden; can be cleanly used without the remains of foreign matter around the urethra and the anus or on the exterior of the apparatus after use; can perform treatment in a state in which an electrode portion is pressed in close contact with the bladder and the pelvic floor muscles through a height adjustment means; and can perform both an active exercise through low-frequency pulses and a passive exercise through a muscular strength sensing means.
Claims11
An apparatus for strengthening pelvic floor muscles which comprises:
- a body 10 of elongated shape to be placed inside an underwear I for user to sit on by perineum;
- electrodes 20 positioned on the upper side of the body 10 to apply electric stimulus on the perineum of user;
- a flexible cover 30 provided on both sides of the body 10 and bendable to form a gap between the body 10 into which a conductive sheet S is tucked and clamped wherein;
- the conductive sheet S covers the electrodes 20 to enhance the transmission of electric stimulus to user, and the ends of the conductive sheet S is placed inside the flexible cover 30 not to contact the underwear I of user and so it can used cleanly and neatly, and contamination around urethra and anus of user or the device itself can be prevented by only replacing the conductive sheet 3.
An apparatus for strengthening pelvic floor muscles which comprises:
- a body 10 of elongated shape to be placed inside an underwear I for user to sit on by perineum;
- electrodes 20 positioned on the upper side of the body 10 to apply electric stimulus on the perineum of user;
- a base plate 40 engaged with the lower part of the body 10 so that the end of a conductive sheet S should be placed and clamped between the body 10 and the base plate 40;
- wherein
- the conductive sheet S covers the electrodes 20 to enhance the transmission of electric stimulus to user, and the ends of the conductive sheet S is covered by the base plate 40 not to contact the underwear I of user so it can used cleanly and neatly, and contamination around urethra and anus of user or the apparatus itself can be prevented by only replacing the conductive sheet 3.
An apparatus for strengthening pelvic floor muscles which comprises:
- an upper body 11 of elongated shape for user to sit on by perineum;
- electrodes 20 positioned on the upper body 11 to apply electric stimulus on the perineum of user;
- a support 15 supporting the upper body 11 in the manner that, if user sits on the upper body 11, the upper body 11 should lift the center of pelvic floor muscle P of user and invert it in ‘n’ shape;
- a muscular force sensor 70 on the upper or lower part of the support 15 to sense force or pressure which presses the upper body 11 down by the muscular contraction when user contracts his/her inverted pelvic floor muscle P;
- and
- a controller 80 to process data of the force or pressure sensed by the muscular force sensor 70 and transmit the data outward to display them;
- wherein
- the user can select between a passive electric stimulus through the electrodes 20 and an active muscular exercise through the muscular force sensor 70.
An apparatus for strengthening pelvic floor muscles which comprises:
- an upper body 11 of elongated shape 1 for user to sit on by perineum;
- a support 15 supporting the upper body 11 in the manner that, if user sits on the upper body 11, the upper body 11 should lift the center of pelvic floor muscle P of user and invert it in ‘n’ shape;
- a height adjusting means 50 positioned between the upper body 11 and the support 15 to adjust the height of the upper body 11, so that the press intensity against the pelvic floor muscle P of user can be adjusted;
- a muscular force transmitter 75 connected to the upper end or lower end of the height adjusting means 50 and being parallel with the upper body 11;
- a muscular force sensor 70 connected to the front end and rear end respectively to sense force or pressure which presses the upper body 11 down by the muscular contraction when user contracts his/her inverted pelvic floor muscle P;
- and
- a controller 80 to treat data of force or pressure sensed by the muscular force sensor 70 and transmit the data outward to display them.
