Biofeedback Pelvictrainer®
How does the Pelvictrainer® work?
Step 1: Pelvictrainer Test, determine starting point
Each patient has a different pelvic floor muscle characteristic, according to strength and control. For proper zero point determination, a test involves tightening and relaxing the pelvic floor muscle three times. Sit still and upright, breathe relaxed and avoid using the abdomen and breath to exert additional pressure on the pelvic floor. This test is performed once at each workout.
In this step, the client first experiences that the tightening and relaxing of the pelvic floor has an effect on the screen, the signal goes up and down on the screen, i.e., biofeedback.

The training program is free formatted:
✓ Feel free to exercise your own patterns
✓ Follow the instructions of therapist like:

Pelvictrainer Advanced training
Step 4: Pelvictrainer Advanced training: Rapid power exercises
The training program has five components:
1. Concentric (contract)
2. Isometric (keep contracted)
3. Eccentric (relax)
4. Relaxation (keep relaxed)
5. Speed (rapid contraction and relaxation)
Workout focused on:
✓- Coordination
✓ Timing (speed)
Step 5: Pelvictrainer Rapportage, Results
The overview shows for each run the performance by category, based on:
✓ Strength (deviation from target value)
✓ Coordination (variation from target value)
Per component the course of the runs is presented.
In case the training is done as a registered client, graphics of the trend over all trainings are shown.
Pelvictrainer Reporting
Step 6: Pelvictrainer Reporting, Progress training
In case your training is personlized (patient logs in) then training results are stored. You can review all results individual or make a trend report.
A trend report shows the performance over all training sessions.
You can:
✓ Zoom in per phase
✓ Make a print out
✓ Store performance overview in a PDF file.
Step 7: Biofeedback with Medicalbench®
Compare progress to other patients, worldwide, real-time
The course of the exercises of a patient can be studied by the doctor/practitioner within the context of his/her illness and treatment. The results can be compared with other patients with similar profile.
To enable this, the Medicalbench® software is fully integrated with the Pelvictrainer® application.
