Abstract
The increasing advancement of technological devices has been bringing more and more efficient and accurate methods of evaluation, testing and exercises. In the area of evaluation of the pelvic floor muscle contraction, the use of perineometry has been more preferred by physiotherapists because they are effective and simple applicability methods. In this context, it was identified the absence in the clinical practices of the use of biofeedback applied in perineometry. Thus, this study has as main objective to present the design and development of a Perineometric Signals Acquisition System (PSAS) via wireless aided by a graphical user interface (GUI) that allows audio and visual biofeedbacks, allowing to facilitate the progress of the physical evaluation of the individual.
