Wireless Pelvic Floor Trainer / KEGELtrainer
Many women are unfamiliar with the pelvic floor (lat.: musculus levator ani), and despite its huge importance as "the bodys power center" it is one of the most neglected muscle groups. Many women first become aware of it after experiencing physical ailments (obesity, poor posture, pelvic operation) or when it is put under extreme duress during pregnancy. By then it is often too late. Regular training of the pelvic floor muscles is therefore highly recommended. As early as the 1950s, Dr. Arnold Henry Kegel (1894-1981) developed a pelvic floor training - which today is known worldwide by his name – Kegel Exercises.
The KEGELtrainer combines great FUN FACTORY quality with the latest possibilities in digital technology to show women of every age the need for training and to support health awareness. It should also offer an extra incentive to begin with strengthening the pelvic floor muscles, and especially to continue regularly with training.
To keep motivation levels for training high and to noticeably increase the success of each workout, FUN FACTORY is the first manufacturer to add a motor to its already very successful SMARTBALLS UNO, which can then be uniquely and comfortably controlled via a remote control App all without a cable or awkward remote control. While going about your everyday life, it can be discreetly controlled and the vibrations set into action.
A well-designed user interface of the App allows for individualized training plans to be developed with the doctor, to measure training progress and to learn a lot. Never has training been so easy! A medical revolution!
- How it works -
In medical and clinical fields, the therapist, and also the user/patient, can control the KEGELtrainer. Particularly in the clinical area, the cable-free and discreet control helps to reduce inhibitions and to design training to be as ergonomic and motivating as possible. This is an improvement on the already effective pelvic exercises designed by Dr. Arnold Henry Kegel. In addition to holding the weight during regular wearing, vibrations are started which cause a subconscious contraction of the muscles, thereby increasing the training results considerably.
Thanks to the discreet remote control via the App, the device can be used without any impeding cable or any additional, obvious remote control. So it can be used while going about the everyday routine and when needed the user can click on the smartphone display to make changes.
- The Product/ KEGELtrainer -
In an ergonomically shaped silicone sheath, a Bluetooth Smart control card (PCB) is located which acts as the main control unit which has the necessary range for controlling a small vibration motor. A lithium-polymer rechargeable battery provides energy. The battery is recharged externally with a special charger set.
There are no other external control elements; all functions are controlled via the App. The red band is an antenna in addition to a retrieval band.
- The App -
The App serves as a comfortable and discreet remote control for operating the KEGELtrainer. Starting with pairing the end device with the mobile device, to the manual control of the functions to the automatic training programs – all the functions here are integrated.
