In the invasive therapytreatment, body will be invaded by instrument and detected the contraction. The method is analysis and discussion pelvic floor muscles contraction. The rehabilitation is needed to invade the human body caused most of people would not accept. In the non-invasive therapy treatment, the rehabilitation is based on Kegel exercise. By force of contraction of the levatorani up the vagina, urethra and anus muscle groups to train the pelvic floor muscles. The non-invasive therapy treatment is acceptable than invasive therapy treatment, but it isn’t embeded any sensors. In collaboration withthe doctor, we had been developedwireless sensor network assistive device and taught patients. We want to track with patients for a long time, and we need to solve the problem as follows. First, because the assistive device is so heavy and hard, patients will hurt themselves by dropping. Second, she can view her achievement if she have mobile device. The older patients are difficult to use. Last, the Kegelexercise don’t show the effect immediately. Because of reasons, rehabilitationwill be interrupted. This thesissolves three problems of the assistive device, reducing the complexity of the operation and adding prediction patient exercisestatus to the achievement in the rehabilitation.
