Article Synopsis
  • Developed a new intravaginal dynamometer (IVD) to measure vaginal closure force in both anterior and posterior regions.
  • Bench testing confirmed its accuracy in force measurement, speed of opening, and positional accuracy, while in vivo tests showed differences in force between the anterior and posterior measurements during pelvic floor muscle activities.
  • The IVD demonstrated reliable performance, paving the way for more in-depth studies on vaginal closure forces.

Previous studies using nonlinear microscopy have demonstrated that osteoarthritis (OA) is characterized by the gradual replacement of Type II collagen with Type I collagen. The objective of this study was to develop a prototype nonlinear laser scanning microendoscope capable of resolving the structural differences of collagen in various orthopaedically relevant cartilaginous surfaces. The current prototype developed a miniaturized femtosecond laser scanning instrument, mounted on an articulated positioning system, capable of both conventional arthroscopy and second-harmonic laser-scanning microscopy.
