Abstract: An ultrasound system for use in monitoring a Valsalva Manoeuvre, VM performed by a subject. The ultrasound system comprises a computing apparatus configured to: receive a measurement of abdominal pressure, P, for the subject whilst the subject is performing the VM, wherein the measurement of abdominal pressure was measured using a sensor external to the body for measuring abdominal pressure; and determine an indication of whether the subject has effectively performed the VM by comparing the measurement of abdominal pressure for the subject whilst the subject is performing the VM to a reference abdominal pressure, PRef, measured for the subject.

Abstract: An apparatus for use in analysing ultrasound image data of rectus abdominis muscles of a subject. The apparatus comprises a memory comprising instruction data representing a set of instructions, and a processor configured to communicate with the memory and to execute the set of instructions. The set of instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to: obtain a sequence of ultrasound image data of the rectus abdominis muscles, the sequence of ultrasound image data having image data having been obtained using an ultrasound transducer tilted at different angles to the surface of the skin of the subject and thus having different angles of ingress of the ultrasound waves into the skin. The processor is further caused to select ultrasound image data from the sequence of ultrasound image data, the selected ultrasound image data comprising image data in the sequence in which a region of the rectus abdominis muscle appears clearest compared to other image data in the sequence of ultrasound image data, and make a measurement of the rectus abdominis muscles in the selected ultrasound image data.
