• Pelvic floor muscle tone may be estimated using a perineometer, which measures the pressure within the vagina.
• Kegel developed the perineometer in 1947 to treat urinary incontinence ( urine leakage ) in women whose pelvic floor muscles are weakened during pregnancy and childbirth.
• The perineometer, which is inserted into the vagina to monitor pelvic floor muscle contraction, satisfies all the requirements of a biofeedback device and enhances the effectiveness of popular Kegel exercises.
• The original pelvic toning device was the perineometer, invented by Arnold Kegel to facilitate the measurement of the strength of the pubococcygeus muscle when it was resting and being actively squeezed sometimes referred to as the Kegel tone.
