SUMMARY:

This study aimed to present techniques for the development of an equipment to be used in female pelvic rehabilitation, which needs to be evaluated to apply the most appropriate rehabilitation therapies. The goal was to contemplate from the confection of the sensors (array), which are responsible for capturing the force stimulus, to the development of the processing circuitry and the development of the console to accommodate these circuits. Equipment development details were exposed, covering the constructive aspects of the project’s mechanical design and details of the electronics involved. Experiments were performed on a dynamometer adapted to apply forces to the sensors and to validate them to prove the system efficiency, which should be included to minimize the electronic circuits instability. In the end, satisfactory results were obtained with that. The correlation between the applied force and the sensors’, response did not undergo great variations, which satisfies the system performance and control, which is intended to be inserted in clinical and ambulatory care.
