Abstract:
1. A method for measuring the strength of the ischiocavernous muscles of a patient with either erectile dysfunction or premature ejaculation or both, the method being performed during an erection of the penis and comprising the following steps: (a) providing, to the patient, a measuring and/or rehabilitation device configured to determine the strength of the ischiocavernous muscles of the penis, the device comprising at least one sensor; (b) placing the sensor around an outer surface of the penis of the patient; (c) via the at least one sensor, measuring the variation of intracavernous pressure of the penis; (d) externally stimulating the ischiocavernous muscles of the penis using a pair of electrodes; and (e) determining whether the stimulating causes an elevation in intracavernous pressure, wherein a positive detection of said elevation in intracavernous pressure indicates that ischiocavernous muscles were contracted during the stimulation.
