Method for determining mechanical properties of a pelvic cavity, and measurement device

摘要

The present invention provides a method (30) for determining a mechanical property of a pelvic cavity of a human or an animal, wherein the pelvic cavity comprises a plurality of organs, the method comprising the step (34), wherein during the step (34): Pressure is measured at one or more points on the surface of one of the organs of the pelvic cavity, and during step (34), simultaneously, the movement of the plurality of organs of the pelvic cavity is also measured. The present invention also provides a measuring device for measuring pressure in a pelvic cavity organ to perform the method (30). The measuring device comprises a fiber optic sensor mounted on a non-metallic housing and a closed flexible reservoir mounted on the non-metallic housing and comprising a surface, in particular a flexible surface, constituting a pressure measuring surface.
