Abstract

A device is used for stimulating the pelvic muscles of a patient. The device comprises a tubular body which is of such a size that it can be placed along the crotch of a human body.

Claims

1. A device for stimulating pelvic muscles, said device comprising:

a tubular body having a proximal end and a distal end;

said tubular body having a size such that said tubular body can be placed along a crotch of a human body;

said tubular body comprising an outer elastic material filled with a liquid;

said tubular body comprising a vibration drive;

wherein said vibration drive expands and contracts said tubular body in a radial direction.

2. The device of claim 1, wherein said proximal end and said distal end are hemispherical.

3. The device of claim 2, wherein said tubular body radially expands and contracts in three dimensions.

4. The device of claim 1, further comprising at least one sensor wherein said sensor detects forces exerted on said tubular body by a pelvis of a human body.

5. The device of claim 1, wherein said tubular body is received in a seat.

6. The device of claim 5, wherein said body can be adjusted relative to said seat.

7. The device of claim 6, wherein that adjustment is selected from at least adjusting a height and a tilting relative to said seat.

8. The device of claim 1, wherein said body is rectilinear along an axis between said proximal end and said distal end.

9. The device of claim 1, wherein said body is curved along an axis between said proximal end and said distal end.

10. The device of claim 1, wherein said vibration drive generates amplitudes in a range of 0 to 3 mm.

11. The device of claim 1, wherein said vibration drive generates frequencies in a range of 0 to 100 Hz.

12. The device of claim 1, wherein said vibration drive generates frequencies in a range of 5 to 30 Hz.

13. The device of claim 4, wherein said sensor detects forces exerted on said tubular body by a muscle contraction.

14. The device of claim 4, further comprising a processing unit for receiving and processing values of said forces detected by said sensor.

15. The device of claim 14, further comprising a display unit for displaying values of said forces detected by said sensor.

16. The device of claim 15, wherein said display unit displays muscle contractions.

17. The device of claim 1, wherein an acceleration of a vibration provided by said vibration drive is controlled via at least one acceleration sensor.

18. A method for stimulating pelvic muscles, said method comprising the steps of:

providing a tubular body having a proximal end and a distal end, and further having an outer elastic material filled with a liquid;

providing a vibration drive in said tubular body;

placing the tubular body along a crotch of a human body;

expanding and contracting said tubular body in a radial direction.

19. The method of claim 18, wherein the expanding and contracting of said tubular body is in three dimensions.

20. The method of claim 19, wherein the tubular body is placed along the crotch of said human body outside of any clothing.
