Abstract

Disclosed is an extensible electrode array (102) for accurately locating a pelvic floor muscle, and its design method and an extensible pelvic floor electrode. The design method includes: (1) obtaining a three-dimensional muscle anatomy map of a pelvic floor muscle, dividing a muscle according to the three-dimensional muscle anatomy map and determining a muscle fiber trend, and for each muscle, determining a plurality of three-dimensional coordinate points for marking each muscle along the muscle fiber trend (S101); (2) after projecting all three-dimensional coordinate projects onto a two-dimensional plane unfolded in a shape of an elastic cavity (101), taking each two-dimensional coordinate point in the two-dimensional plane as a location to dispose an electrode plate (S102); (3) simulating a mechanical property of the elastic cavity (101), and determining a deformation rate of an extensible electrode wire (105) of the electrode plate when the extensible electrode wire (105) of the electrode plate is arranged along a muscle fiber direction of the pelvic floor muscle (S103); and (4) according to a design result, mounting the electrode plate and the extensible electrode wire (105) o…
