  • Title: Intra-abdominal pressure measurements using a wireless radio pressure pill and two wire connected pressure transducers: a comparison.
    Author: Nordin M, Elfström G, Dahlquist P.
    Journal: Scand J Rehabil Med; 1984; 16(4):139-46. PubMed ID: 6531670.
    Abstract:
    Intra-abdominal pressures were measured simultaneously with a wireless radio pill and two wire-connected pressure transducers introduced orally and rectally respectively. Measurements were made on 8 men during common postures, simple activities and static and dynamic lifting. An acceptable correspondence was found in wave forms of the generated pressure curves in time and shape. The three systems showed, however, a less good agreement in recorded peak differences, i.e. highest and lowest pressure responses to each task. The radio pill is simple to use, but more difficult to calibrate and expensive, compared to the wire-connected methods, which however are less attractive for use in the work environment.
