Traditional methods of evaluating sexual function in disabled individuals using neurological examinations, interviews, and psychological screening has been well established. A patient's ability to have erections and ejaculations are recorded through interviews with the patient and his partner. Therefore, to obtain a more objective view of the patient's sexual function, we used a nocturnal penile tumescence monitor in 12 tetraplegics and 12 paraplegics. Patients were interviewed for sexual histories before and after the injury. Their penile size was monitored during sleeping time using two strain gauges attached to each end of the penile shaft. The bridge output from these strain gauges was amplified to a single channel recorder. The spontaneous increase of penile circumference and its duration was recorded. The result showed that: tetraplegics had a greater increase of penile size and longer duration of erection than paraplegics, there is no correlation between incompleteness of spinal lesion and erection, there is no correlation between the presence of bulbocavernosus reflex and erection, and there is no correlation between sex dreams and erections.
使用神经学检查、访谈和心理筛查来评估残疾个体性功能的传统方法已经确立。通过与患者及其伴侣的访谈记录患者勃起和射精的能力。因此，为了更客观地了解患者的性功能，我们对12名四肢瘫痪患者和12名截瘫患者使用了夜间阴茎勃起监测仪。在受伤前后对患者进行了性病史访谈。在睡眠时间，使用附着在阴茎轴两端的两个应变仪监测他们的阴茎大小。这些应变仪的电桥输出被放大到单通道记录仪。记录阴茎周长的自发增加及其持续时间。结果显示：四肢瘫痪患者阴茎大小的增加幅度更大，勃起持续时间比截瘫患者更长；脊髓损伤的不完全性与勃起之间没有相关性；球海绵体反射的存在与勃起之间没有相关性；性梦与勃起之间没有相关性。
