Abstract
An electronic spherometer is described, which has been used clinically for the measurement of uterine forces during obstetrical labor. The transducer, which is taped to the surface of the abdomen, senses change in the radius of curvature of the uterus, and sends a signal from a strain gauge bridge through an amplifier-detector to a recorder. The instrument has been used to analyze muscular coordination of normal and abnormal labor.Keywords
