An exercise device has first and second components with a hinge coupling the proximal ends of the components. The first component has a cone shaped distal region, a semi-cylindrical shaped proximal region, and a generally flat intermediate region. A recess is formed between the distal region and the proximal end. The second component has a thin disc-shaped distal region, a semi-cylindrical proximal region, and a generally flat intermediate region. The second component is positionable within the recess of the first component. An enlarged annular collar has a first half on the first component between the intermediate and proximal regions and a second half on the second component between the distal and proximal regions and has a radius of curvature greater than the radius of curvature of the proximal regions. A spring urges the first and second components into the open orientation during use.
123 Feminine personal trainer US228661 1999-01-12 US6165108A 2000-12-26 Russell Ralston

The ends of the apparatus are of different sizes in order to facilitate different levels of exercise, thus giving the apparatus a disproportional hourglass shape. The enlarged ends gradually reduce in circumference proximate the middle portion of the apparatus, thus creating two inclined surfaces
124 Universal mechanical dilator combined with massaging action US816854 1997-03-13 US06159170A 2000-12-12 German Borodulin; Alexander Shkolnik; Maxim Persidsky
A universal mechanical dilator combined with massaging action comprises a probe (12) consisting of a two rods (22 and 24), a drive unit (14) and an adapter (16) that connects the probe (12) to the drive unit. The instrument is intended for dilation of the urethra or other ducts of a human body and can operate in three different modes: pure dilation, pure vibration, and dilations combined with vibrations. This is achieved by using the adapter (16) as an adjustable coupling. The probe (12) together with the adapter (16) can be disconnected from the drive unit (14) and used separately as a mechanical manual dilator. At its distal end, the probe (12) has means for connecting replaceable tips (28a, 32a) used for various applications, i.e., urethral, anal, vaginal, etc. The invention also relates to a method of treatment of voiding or an orectal diseases by combining dilations with vibrations. The instrument can also be used for training sphincteric muscles.

128 Contraction resistance vaginal muscle exerciser US9556 1998-01-20 US5865715A 1999-02-02 H. David Wallick
A resistance exerciser for the vaginal muscles having a first member, a second member, an adjustment and locking apparatus and a system to provide bias. The first member and second member are joined together at a rear ends of both members by a hinge to form the overall unit. Bias is provided between the members to bias the members from a closed position to an open position. The adjustment and locking apparatus controls the opening width between the first and second members and is used to maintain the exerciser in a closed position for insertion and storage.The first member has a tapered head region for ease of insertion into the orifice of the vagina. The second member is joined with the first member from just behind the head region and extends to the rear of both the first and second members where they are attached with a hinge. Just behind the head region is a muscle positioning region consisting of an abrupt inward tapering, a flattened portion and an abrupt outward tapering. The virginal muscles contract onto the muscle positioning portion. The abrupt tappers prevents the exerciser from slipping inward or outward during use.Once inserted, the exerciser is adjusted such that the first and second members can open due to the bias. The adjustment of the width of the opening also adjusts the amount of bias being applied. The muscles are then contracted about the flattened portion to close the first and second members. When the muscles are relaxed, the bias again spreads or opens the first and second members. This cycle is repeated to exercise the virginal muscles.

130 Bulbocavernosus muscle exercising apparatus US584514 1996-01-11 US5762589A 1998-06-09 Clarence Parker, Jr.
An apparatus for strengthening and toning a person's bulbocavernosus muscle is disclosed which includes a base and a contact portion having a convex elongated upper surface which is fixed relative to the base. The base and contact portion of the device are connected together by hinged connection with a prop moveable between a storage position and an exercise position in which the contact portion is raised above the base. The sides of the contact portion are contoured to reduce the width of the contact portion at the inward end thereof. The contact portion is preferably covered by a layer of padding material on its upper surface. The method of the present invention is an isometric exercise method wherein a convex member is placed on a horizontal supporting surface. The exercise method requires sitting on the supporting surface with the bulbocavernosus muscle resting on the convex member. The bulbocavernosus muscle is contracted and relaxed repetitively to strengthen and tone a person's bulbocavernosus muscle.

135 Bladder training apparatus US676144 1976-04-12 US4084593A 1978-04-18 Harry Sigurd Valdemar Jarund
Apparatus for use in training the bladder of an incontinent patient including a pressure chamber connectable to the bladder with a catheter and a collecting container connected to the pressure chamber by a narrow tube. The pressure chamber is to be lower than the bladder and the collecting container is below the pressure chamber, while the tube extends upwardly from the pressure chamber. In use, the pressure chamber fills up, pressurizing the bladder, until urine reaches the highest part of the tube whereon the pressure chamber and bladder are emptied and the pressure reduced.
136 Apparatus for aiding the voluntary exercising of sphincter muscles US54183075 1975-01-17 US3926178A 1975-12-16 FELDZAMEN ALVIN N

137 Exercising apparatus US3752150D 1971-08-30 US3752150A 1973-08-14 HARRIS J
An elongated resilient core member is surrounded by an oversize flexible covering having one open end through which a portion of the core extends. The covering adjacent the opening is sealed to the core. A first tubing attached to the core and extending from the covering provides a supply of pressurized liquid through a channel in the core to the covering interior for filling and distending the same, spacing it from the core at all points except where sealed. A second tubing provides communication between the contained liquid and an externally located pressure measuring device, e.g., a manometer. In use, the core and liquidfilled covering are inserted full depth into the vagina and the individual then trys to produce controlled contraction of the vaginal musculature, noting the degree of success on the pressure measuring device.
138 Muscle activity recorder US3683893D 1970-07-17 US3683893A 1972-08-15 FRIED ROBERT
A system for providing visual observation of changes in muscle tonus and muscle contraction concomitant with self-initiated changes in muscular activity, especially in applications where kinesthetic sensation is deficient. Muscular activity is sensed by compressible means which provides a signal in the form of an air flow of appropriate positive or negative pressure values which, in turn, is converted into an electrical signal which is ultimately transformed into a visually observable meter reading for enhancing kinesthetic-somesthetic perception and for enhancing the subject''s control over the musculature of interest.
139 METHOD WITH BIOFEEDBACK FOR TRAINING THE MUSCLES OF THE PELVIC FLOOR PCT/ES2013070507 2013-07-16 WO2014013118A9 2014-03-13 MANANAS VILLANUEVA MIGUEL ANGEL; RAMOS CASTRO JUAN JOSE; ESPUNA PONS MONTSERRAT; PEREZ GONZALEZ AMELIA
The invention relates to a method with biofeedback for training the muscles of the pelvic floor, applicable to the treatment of urinary incontinence, fecal incontinence and prolapse of pelvic organs, using a portable electronic device for capturing EMG signals relating to abdominal activity and the area to be treated, by means of sensors, during muscular exercises, said device providing the results visually and/or acoustically. Said method comprises: placing a vaginal or rectal sensor (10) and two other sensors (11) in the lower abdominal region; performing exercises working the muscles of the pelvic floor; providing evaluation of the exercises performed; and storing results. The user positions the sensors autonomously and the device evaluates the correct positioning of the sensors, informing the user that a suitable position has been reached by means of said acoustic and/or visual means, and carrying out a step prior to the exercises for acquiring muscle tone.
