An improved apparatus is disclosed for use in diagnosing and treating
pelvic floor musculature disorders. The device includes a head (10)
mounted on a shaft (12), with a barrier (14) mounted on the shaft (12)
between the handle (18) and head (10). An indicator (16) may be mounted on
the shaft (12). The apparatus may provide magnetic resistance to pelvic
floor musculature contraction to (1) measure and track the progress of
pelvic floor musculature strength, and (2) exercise pelvic floor
musculature to improve strength at a private, patient-determined
frequency. Alternative embodiments are either spring biasing members or
the biasing property of a stretched elastomeric material.
