ABSTRACT:
A penile rigidity and tumescence monitor apparatus is disclosed. The monitor apparatus includes a transducer apparatus (20) for providing output signals indicative of penile rigidity and tumescence throughout a penile tumescence event. A control apparatus (22) is operatively interconnected to the transducer apparatus (20) for providing control thereover. The control apparatus (22) also provides for acquisition and storage of penile rigidity and tumescence data represented by the output signals received from the transducer apparatus (20).
