Method and device for training pelvic floor muscles in order to cure or prevent urinary of faecal incontinence. The device comprises a probe (10) having a pressure sensor (22) and a vibrator (19, 20), and a microprocessor (33) connected with the sensor and the vibrator. Initially, the probe is inserted into a person's vagina or rectum and the highest force that can be applied by the person contracting the pelvic floor muscles is ascertained and registered. The contraction of the pelvic floor muscles is repeated at intervals, and the force applied by the pelvic floor muscles at each contraction is ascertained and compared with the registered highest value. The vibrator is activated at each contraction of the pelvic floor muscles only if the force has a predetermined relationship to the registered value, and only for a predetermined period as long as the predetermined relationship is maintained.

L'invention porte sur un procédé et un dispositif d'entraînement des muscles périnéaux visant à traiter ou prévenir l'incontinence urinaire ou fécale. Ce dispositif comprend une sonde (10) dotée d'un capteur (22) de pression et d'un vibreur (19, 20), et un microprocesseur (33) raccordé au capteur et au vibreur. La sonde est d'abord insérée dans le vagin ou le rectum et la plus grande force pouvant être générée par la personne contractant les muscles périnéaux est déterminée et enregistrée. La contraction des muscles périnéaux est répétée par intervalles et la force générée par ceux-ci à chaque contraction est déterminée et comparée à la plus haute valeur enregistrée. Le vibreur est activé à chaque contraction des muscles périnéaux uniquement si la force a une relation prédéterminée avec la valeur enregistrée, et uniquement sur une durée prédéterminée tant qu'est maintenue la relation prédéterminée.
