Description

Female pelvic floor muscle pressure detection method
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of medical care, in particular to a female pelvic floor muscle pressure detection method.
Background
Female pelvic floor muscles refer to the group of muscles that close the pelvic floor. The muscle groups that make up the pelvic floor muscles surround the organs such as urethra, bladder, uterus, rectum, etc., support the pelvic and abdominal organs, and maintain them in their normal position for their function. Thus, pelvic floor muscles are involved in bladder, bowel and sexual function. Pelvic floor muscles can be damaged by infectious disease, inflammation, trauma, or excessive laceration, such as that resulting from fertility. After the muscle groups forming the pelvic floor muscles are damaged, the elasticity is deteriorated, and related organs can not be maintained at normal positions, so that corresponding dysfunction, such as difficult excretion, cystitis, pelvic floor organ prolapse, incongruous sexual life, chronic discomfort and the like, can occur.
Clinically, to determine the extent of pelvic floor muscle damage or post-treatment recovery in women, the ability of the female pelvic floor muscles to contract needs to be tested to facilitate evaluation and determination of treatment regimens by physicians. In addition, for patients whose pelvic floor muscles are relaxed for childbearing or age reasons, it is also necessary to detect the contractility of the pelvic floor muscles when exercising the pelvic floor muscles using the pelvic floor muscle exercise device in order to understand the recovery of the pelvic floor muscles and to exercise the pelvic floor muscles in a targeted manner. Generally, the ability of female pelvic muscles to contract is detected by a pressure sensor placed at a suitable location within the body. For example, the diaphragm pressure sensor may be placed on a carrier and then placed in position within a female anatomy, and the pressure experienced by the diaphragm pressure sensor may be detected to determine the contractile capacity of the female pelvic floor muscles. Common carriers for providing thin film pressure sensing include kegel balls or vibrating implements for female pelvic floor muscle exercises, and the like. In this way, the contractile capacity of female pelvic floor muscles can be detected in real time.
Uk patent application No. 1111532.6 teaches an electronic position sensor responsive to the compression or positioning or movement of the device itself, which can be inserted into the pelvic cavity and detect and respond to movement of the wearer and feedback device. However, the electronic device provided by this patent has a number of drawbacks: first, the electronic device needs to first detect the user's feedback device through the sensor and then remind the user to assume a better posture through its vibration motor. Therefore, the electronic device disclosed in this patent provides only one alert and does not directly detect the contractility of the pelvic floor muscles and provide a direct detection result to the user. Secondly, the electronic device can only play a certain role in strengthening the pelvic floor muscles of the patient when the patient successfully contracts the corresponding muscles. Therefore, the electronic device functions only through vibration therapy of its vibration motor, and it cannot guide and help the user to exercise their pelvic floor muscles by providing the user with the result of detection of the pelvic floor muscle contraction force. Finally, the electronic device can only obtain a blurred and non-quantitative gesture signal.
Chinese patent application No. CN201410751835.0 provides a female pelvic floor muscle pressure detection device, wherein the female pelvic floor muscle pressure detection device can detect the contractility of the pelvic floor muscles of a user through the film pressure sensor thereof and help the user to exercise the pelvic floor muscles according to the detection result, wherein the female pelvic floor muscle pressure detection device adopts a resistance type film pressure sensor which is attached on a carrier and is placed at a proper position in a human body, the output resistance of the film pressure sensor is reduced along with the increase of the pressure applied to the surface of the film pressure sensor, the film pressure sensor is connected with the analog-digital conversion module through a voltage amplifying circuit, the pressure applied to the surface of the film pressure sensor is detected by detecting the change in the resistance of the film pressure sensor and the resistance-pressure relationship of the film pressure sensor. However, although the resistance value of the thin film pressure sensor changes monotonously with a change in the pressure to which it is subjected, the correspondence relationship between the resistance value of the thin film pressure sensor and the pressure does not correspond linearly but corresponds nonlinearly. In other words, when the pressure applied to the film pressure sensor is small, the resistance changes largely with the pressure change, and when the pressure applied to the film pressure sensor is large, the resistance changes relatively little with the pressure change. Therefore, when the pressure applied to the film pressure sensor is small, the resistance changes too much with the pressure change, and when the pressure applied to the film pressure sensor is large, the resistance changes too little with the pressure change, so that whether the pressure applied to the film pressure sensor is too small or too large, the pressure applied to the film pressure sensor is detected by detecting the resistance of the film pressure sensor, and accurate detection is difficult to achieve. In addition, when the pressure applied to the film pressure sensor is small, the resistance changes too much with the pressure change, and when the pressure applied to the film pressure sensor is large, the resistance changes too little with the pressure change, which also results in a small pressure range that can be detected when the pressure applied to the film pressure sensor is detected by detecting the resistance of the film pressure sensor.

The invention has the main advantage of providing the female pelvic floor muscle pressure detection method, wherein the female pelvic floor muscle pressure detection method converts a resistance signal of the thin film pressure sensor for detecting the female pelvic floor muscle pressure into a corresponding oscillation frequency signal of the oscillator, so that the pressure applied to the thin film pressure sensor can be obtained by detecting the oscillation frequency of the multivibrator.

Another advantage of the present invention is to provide a method for female pelvic floor muscle pressure detection, wherein the method for female pelvic floor muscle pressure detection of the present invention includes coupling a thin film pressure sensor for detecting female pelvic floor muscle pressure to a multivibrator and configuring the multivibrator such that an oscillation frequency thereof monotonously changes (monotonously increases or decreases) with a decrease in resistance of the thin film pressure sensor, such that the oscillation frequency of the multivibrator corresponds to a pressure to which the thin film pressure sensor is subjected.

Accordingly, the female pelvic floor muscle pressure detection method can detect a larger pressure value range and smaller pressure value changes.
Another advantage of the present invention is to provide a female pelvic floor muscle pressure detecting method, in which the female pelvic floor muscle pressure detecting method of the present invention can determine a pelvic floor muscle pressure (or contraction force) to which the thin film pressure sensor is subjected, corresponding to an oscillation frequency of the multivibrator, through the oscillation frequency of the multivibrator, so that the pressure can be visually provided to a user, thereby allowing the user to conveniently obtain the pressure of the detected pelvic floor muscle.

Accordingly, the above terms should not be construed as limiting the present invention.
Description of the drawings fig. 1 shows resistance-pressure (value) change curves of an exemplary thin film pressure sensor for detecting female pelvic floor muscle pressure according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 1 of the accompanying drawings, the resistance of most of the conventional thin film pressure sensors for detecting the pressure of female pelvic floor muscles is monotonously reduced with the increase of the pressure, but the resistance of the thin film pressure sensor is nonlinear with the change of the pressure, the resistance is greatly changed with the change of the pressure when the thin film pressure sensor is subjected to a small pressure, and the resistance is relatively slightly changed with the change of the pressure when the thin film pressure sensor is subjected to a large pressure. Accordingly, when the pressure to which the film pressure sensor is subjected is small, the resistance changes excessively with the change in pressure, and when the pressure to which the film pressure sensor is subjected is large, the resistance changes excessively with the change in pressure, so that it is difficult to detect with high accuracy by detecting the resistance of the film pressure sensor and detecting the pressure to which the film pressure sensor is subjected using the detected resistance of the film pressure sensor, regardless of whether the pressure to which the film pressure sensor is subjected is excessively small or large. In addition, when the pressure applied to the film pressure sensor is small, the resistance changes too much with the pressure change, and when the pressure applied to the film pressure sensor is large, the resistance changes too little with the pressure change, which also results in a small pressure range that can be detected when the pressure applied to the film pressure sensor is detected by detecting the resistance of the film pressure sensor. Therefore, the conventional pressure detection method for determining the pressure applied to the film pressure sensor by detecting the resistance of the film pressure sensor cannot accurately detect the pressure applied to the film pressure sensor, and the pressure range which can be detected by the conventional pressure detection method is small.
In order to improve the detection precision of the pressure applied to the film pressure sensor for detecting the pressure of the female pelvic floor muscles and increase the pressure detection range as much as possible, the invention creatively develops a new method for detecting the pressure applied to the film pressure sensor: the pressure applied to the membrane pressure sensor is determined by connecting the membrane pressure sensor to a multivibrator and configuring the multivibrator so that the oscillation frequency of the multivibrator corresponds to the pressure applied to the membrane pressure sensor, and then detecting the oscillation frequency of the multivibrator. Correspondingly, when the female pelvic floor muscle pressure detection system is used for detecting the female pelvic floor muscle pressure, the pressure borne by the film pressure sensor is detected, the pressure borne by the film pressure sensor is not determined by detecting the resistance of the film pressure sensor and the resistance of the film pressure sensor, but is determined by detecting the oscillation frequency of the multivibrator. The female pelvic floor muscle pressure detection system can obviously improve the detection precision of the pressure borne by the thin film pressure sensor and enlarge the pressure detection range of the thin film pressure sensor.
It is noted that exemplary multivibrators for detecting female pelvic floor muscle pressure according to embodiments of the present invention are preconfigured. First, when a thin film pressure sensor for detecting female pelvic muscle pressure according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention is subjected to pressures of different magnitudes, the resistance (magnitude) of the thin film pressure sensor is determined, and the change of the resistance of the thin film pressure sensor with the change of the magnitude of the pressure is determined, so that the resistance-pressure correspondence of the thin film pressure sensor is determined and a resistance-pressure change curve of the thin film pressure sensor is obtained. As shown in fig. 1 of the drawings, according to an exemplary resistance-pressure variation curve of a thin film pressure sensor for detecting female pelvic muscle pressure according to an embodiment of the present invention, the thin film pressure sensor has a resistance which monotonically decreases with an increase in pressure, and a resistance value which is non-linear with a change in pressure. It is understood that the resistance-pressure variation curve of the exemplary thin film pressure sensor for detecting female pelvic muscle pressure according to the embodiments of the present invention may vary depending on the model, the material of manufacture, the manufacturing process, and even the manufacturer. Accordingly, FIG. 1 of the drawings shows resistance-pressure curves for an exemplary thin film pressure sensor for detecting female pelvic floor muscle pressure, in accordance with embodiments of the present invention. When other types or classes of thin film pressure sensors are used, there may be a corresponding change in the resistance-pressure curve. Then, the multivibrator is configured according to the resistance-pressure variation curve of the thin film pressure sensor for detecting female pelvic floor muscle pressure according to the above exemplary embodiment of the present invention, so that the oscillation frequency of the multivibrator monotonously changes with the magnitude of the resistance of the thin film pressure sensor, thereby making the pressure applied to the thin film pressure sensor correspond to the oscillation frequency of the multivibrator. Preferably, the multivibrator is configured such that the oscillation frequency of the multivibrator monotonically decreases as the resistance of the thin-film pressure sensor increases. More preferably, the equation corresponding to the resistance-oscillation frequency variation curve of the multivibrator and the equation corresponding to the resistance-pressure variation curve of the thin film pressure sensor are a pair of generation equations. Accordingly, when the multivibrator for detecting female pelvic muscle pressure according to the embodiment of the present invention is configured such that the resistance-oscillation frequency variation curve of the multivibrator and the resistance-pressure variation curve of the thin film pressure sensor are positioned in the same quadrant and the resistance-oscillation frequency variation curve of the multivibrator can be "overlapped" with the resistance-pressure variation curve of the thin film pressure sensor after being shifted by an appropriate distance, the oscillation frequency of the multivibrator has a linear relationship with the pressure to which the thin film pressure sensor is subjected.
FIG. 11 of the drawings illustrates an exemplary female pelvic muscle pressure detection system according to embodiments of the present invention, which includes at least one thin film pressure sensor 20 and at least one multivibrator 30, wherein the thin film pressure sensor 20 and the multivibrator 30 can be disposed on a carrier 10, wherein the thin film pressure sensor 20 is electrically connected to the multivibrator 30, and the thin film pressure sensor 20 forms a feedback resistance of the multivibrator 30. Preferably, the multivibrator 30 is configured such that the oscillation frequency of the multivibrator 30 corresponds to the pressure to which the thin film pressure sensor 20 is subjected, so that a user or operator can obtain the pressure value to which the thin film pressure sensor 20 is subjected according to the correspondence between the oscillation frequency of the multivibrator 30 and the pressure to which the thin film pressure sensor 20 is subjected by merely detecting (or obtaining) the oscillation frequency of the multivibrator 30. Therefore, the exemplary female pelvic muscle pressure detection system according to the embodiment of the invention can overcome the existing defect of detecting the pressure applied to the thin film pressure sensor by detecting the resistance of the thin film pressure sensor. Preferably, the multivibrator 30 is configured such that the change in the oscillation frequency thereof monotonously changes with the change in the resistance (magnitude) of the thin film pressure sensor 20. More preferably, the multivibrator 30 is configured such that its oscillation frequency monotonously becomes smaller with an increase in resistance of the thin film pressure sensor 20, and the resistance of the thin film pressure sensor 20 monotonously becomes smaller with an increase in pressure. Accordingly, when the pressure applied to the thin film pressure sensor 20 is large, the oscillation frequency of the multivibrator 30 detected by the exemplary female pelvic floor pressure detection system according to the embodiment of the present invention is also large.
Figures 2A and 4A of the drawings illustrate an exemplary multivibrator 30 for detecting female pelvic muscle pressure according to an embodiment of the present invention, wherein the multivibrator 30 includes a first resistive element 31, a second resistive element 32, an operational amplifier 33, and a capacitive element 34, wherein one end of the first resistive element 31 is electrically connected to the non-inverting input terminal of the second resistive element 32 and the non-inverting input terminal of the operational amplifier 33, the other end of the first resistive element 31 is electrically connected to the second end 22 of the thin film pressure sensor 20 and the output terminal of the operational amplifier 33, the other end of the second resistive element 32 is electrically connected to ground, the other end of the second resistive element is electrically connected to the non-inverting input terminal of the operational amplifier 33 and the first resistive element 31, the other end of the capacitive element 34 is electrically connected to ground, the inverting input terminal of the operational amplifier 33 and the first end 21 of the thin film pressure sensor 20, the output end of the operational amplifier 33 is electrically connected to the second end 22 of the thin film pressure sensor 20 and the first resistive element 31, the inverting input end of the operational amplifier 33 is electrically connected to the first end 21 of the thin film pressure sensor 20 and the capacitive element 34, and the non-inverting input end of the operational amplifier 33 is electrically connected to the first resistive element 31 and the second resistive element 32. It will be appreciated that the first resistive element 31 and the second resistive element 32 of the exemplary multivibrator 30 of the female pelvic muscle pressure detection system according to embodiments of the present invention are each an electrical component having a resistance of a certain magnitude, which is made up of one or more components; the capacitive element 34 of the exemplary multivibrator 30 of the female pelvic floor pressure detection system according to embodiments of the present invention is an electrical component having a capacitance of a certain magnitude, which is made up of one or more components. Accordingly, there are various implementations of the exemplary multivibrator 30 for detecting female pelvic floor muscle pressure in accordance with embodiments of the present invention.
As shown in fig. 2A-3B of the drawings, when the first resistive element 31 and the second resistive element 32 of the multivibrator 30 are both single resistors and the capacitive element 34 is a single capacitor, the multivibrator 30 is configured such that the oscillation frequency F of the multivibrator 30 and the resistance Rsensor of the thin film pressure sensor 20 satisfy the following equation:
Figure BDA0002989212930000081
where C is the capacitance of the capacitive element 34 and R is1Is the resistance, R, of the first resistive component 312Is the resistance of the second resistive component 32. Accordingly, the resistance-oscillation frequency variation curve of the multivibrator 30 and the resistance-pressure variation curve of the thin film pressure sensor 20 for detecting female pelvic floor muscle pressure according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention may coincide or approximately coincide. It is noted that the capacitive element 34 of the multivibrator 30 for detecting female pelvic muscle pressure according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention has a capacitance value of 10pF-330 uF. Through repeated tests and experiments, it is found that the error caused by the stray capacitance in the multivibrator 30 for detecting the pressure of the female pelvic floor muscle according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention is hard to be reduced to the ideal range when the capacitance value of the capacitive element 34 is less than 10pF, and the capacitive element 34 is too large to satisfy the requirement of the pressure detection of the female pelvic floor muscle according to the present invention when the capacitance value of the capacitive element 34 is greater than 330 uF. Preferably, the capacitance of the multivibrator 30 for detecting female pelvic floor muscle pressure according to the embodiment of the present invention is a COG or NPO ceramic capacitor to ensure the temperature stability of the female pelvic floor muscle pressure detection system of the present invention.
As shown in fig. 3A and 3B of the drawings, when the first resistive element 31 and the second resistive element 32 of the multivibrator 30 are both single resistors and the capacitive element 34 is a single capacitor, according to the resistance-oscillation frequency variation curve of the multivibrator 30 and the resistance-pressure variation curve of the thin film pressure sensor 20 for detecting the pressure of the female pelvic floor muscles according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention, a "linear relationship" between the oscillation frequency of the multivibrator 30 and the pressure to which the thin film pressure sensor 20 is subjected can be obtained through calculation and further linear fitting:
Figure BDA0002989212930000082
where N is the pressure to which the diaphragm pressure sensor 20 is subjected, F is the oscillation frequency of the multivibrator 30 detected in real time, and F is the diaphragm pressureWhen the pressure applied to the force sensor 20 is zero, the oscillation frequency of the multivibrator 30, K, is constant. It will be appreciated that the constant K is related to the membrane pressure sensor 20. It will be appreciated that the "linear relationship" between the oscillation frequency of the multivibrator 30 and the pressure experienced by the membrane pressure sensor 20 may also be obtained by other linear fitting means, such as a second order fit or a multiple order fit.
It should be noted that, as shown in fig. 2B of the drawings, when the first resistive element 31 and the second resistive element 32 of the multivibrator 30 are both single resistors and the capacitive element 34 is a single capacitor, the "coincidence" of the resistance-oscillation frequency variation curve of the multivibrator 30 and the resistance-pressure variation curve of the thin film pressure sensor 20 for detecting the female pelvic floor muscle pressure according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention does not necessarily coincide completely, but is established in that the oscillation frequency of the multivibrator 30 for detecting the female pelvic floor muscle pressure according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention is monotonically decreased as the resistance of the thin film pressure sensor 20 increases. The main reason is that the variation of the oscillation frequency of the multivibrator 30 for detecting the pressure of the female pelvic floor muscles according to the embodiment of the present invention is a simulation of the variation of the resistance of the thin film pressure sensor 20 according to the pressure variation, and the variation of the oscillation frequency of the multivibrator 30 is difficult to be completely consistent with the variation of the resistance of the thin film pressure sensor 20 according to the pressure variation, especially when the thin film pressure sensor 20 is subjected to a small pressure, the variation of the resistance according to the pressure variation is large, and when the pressure is subjected to a large pressure, the variation of the resistance according to the pressure variation is small. As shown in FIG. 3B of the drawings, accordingly, the "linear relationship" between the oscillation frequency of the multivibrator 30 and the pressure applied to the thin film pressure sensor 20 for detecting the pressure of the female pelvic floor muscles according to the embodiment of the present invention is calculated as a linear relationship. However, even so, by the configuration method of the multivibrator 30 of the present invention, it is possible for the user or operator to more accurately detect the female pelvic floor muscle pressure to which the thin film pressure sensor 20 is subjected through the combined use of the thin film pressure sensor 20 and the configured multivibrator 30 and to significantly increase the upper and lower limits of the female pelvic floor muscle pressure that can be detected by the thin film pressure sensor 20. Optionally, the user may further improve the "linear relationship" between the oscillation frequency of the multivibrator 30 and the pressure experienced by the thin film pressure sensor 20 by a linear fit, such as a first order linear fit or a multiple order linear fit, to provide a higher accuracy in detecting female pelvic muscle pressure.
Accordingly, when used to detect female pelvic floor muscle pressure, a user or operator may position the exemplary thin film pressure sensor 20 for detecting female pelvic floor muscle pressure according to embodiments of the present invention on a suitable carrier 10 and then place the carrier 10 with the thin film pressure sensor 20 attached thereto in a suitable location within the female body such that female pelvic floor muscle pressure may act on the thin film pressure sensor 20 or be transmitted to the thin film pressure sensor 20. Generally, the carrier 10 with the thin film pressure sensor 20 attached thereto is placed in the female's pelvic floor cavity (or other location of the human body) so that the female's pelvic floor muscle pressure acts on the thin film pressure sensor 20. Therefore, the carrier 10 to which the thin film pressure sensor 20 is attached is preferably provided as a spherical body or a rod-shaped body that facilitates the force application. In this way, female pelvic floor muscle pressure can be detected. As shown in fig. 2A and 4A of the drawings, in order to ensure the smooth start of the multivibrator 30 for detecting the pressure of the female pelvic floor muscle according to the embodiment of the present invention, especially, the oscillation can be smoothly started when the thin film pressure sensor 20 is not under pressure, the exemplary female pelvic floor muscle pressure detection system according to the embodiment of the present invention further includes a start resistor 90, wherein the start resistor 90 is electrically connected to the multivibrator 30 in parallel with the thin film pressure sensor 20.
