Urodynamics is a critical field that studies the physiological and biomechanical parameters involved in urine production, storage, and voiding.This paper first reviews the development process of urodynamics, expounds the development and progress of urodynamic testing instruments from early basic research to modern advanced equipment and the history of their introduction into China, and then introduces in detail the principle of action, system composition and clinical application status of major urodynamic instruments, and further points out the technical shortcomings of current instruments, and then proposes improvement directions, including the core load sensor technology, comfort and privacy of urodynamic testing instruments, work data transfer and close integration with artificial intelligence, in order to provide a valuable reference for clinical understanding of the development of this field.
