Abstract
A perineometer and method for use of the same are disclosed. In one embodiment of the perineometer, an elongated shaft having an external surface portion is receivable within a pelvic cavity. A sleeve is positioned lengthwise and circumferentially proximate the external surface portion. A haptic actuator having processing that separates amplitude from frequency, in response to receiving a haptic signal from a processor, generates vibrations via actuatable elements integrated into the sleeve. A sensor sensing external pressure forces at the sleeve drives a feedback signal based on the sensed external pressure forces. The haptic signal may be based on a manual signal from a manual actuator and the feedback signal.
