Behavioral Objectives •

Dysfunctional Voiding Patterns •

Urinal Incontinence •

Pathophysiology – – –

Unplanned loss of urine that is sufficient to be considered a problem Continence requires intact urinary, neurologic and muscularskeletal systems Any break in communication between these systems can lean to incontinence (or residual)

Types of Incontinence •

Stress Incontinence –

– –

Involuntary loss of urine through an intact urethra due to a sudden h in intra-abd. pressure Treatment-mild: Biofeedback & bladder drills Treatment-moderate to severe: surgery



Pelvic Floor Training and the role of Biofeedback: Health Care Professionals usually advise Pelvic Floor Training as a first line treatment or an adjunct therapy for urine leakage that occurs during coughing, laughing or on exertion. Pelvic floor exercises are effective, but only if carried out regularly and diligently. The lack of feedback on progress may lead to frustration and the discontinuation of an exercise routine, hence, it is prudent to choose devices/exercisers with biofeedback function, such as Peritron Perineometer and PFX range of pelvic floor exercisers with pressure biofeedback. The challenge is to motivate and encourage the workout and simultaneously ensure exercising of the correct muscles. Appropriate feedback will stimulate discipline and step-wise progress. PFX is available in 2 versions - vaginal for women only and anal that can used by both men and women. PFX and Peritron Perineometer products can help people, who wish to monitor the effectiveness of their exercising efforts, because of the valuable biofeedback that they generate. Pelvic floor exercises should become routine events in women's lives, but especially before and after childbirth, hysterectomy and the menopause

.

Types of Incontinence •

Urge Incontinence –

Involuntary loss of urine associated with a strong urge to void that cannot be suppressed. Treatment-

– • • • •

Biofeedback Pelvic floor nerve stimulation Bladder drill Anticholinergics

anticholinergic • An anticholinergic agent blocks the neurotransmitter acetylcholine in the central and the peripheral nervous system. • An example dicyclomine. • Decreased the effects mediated by acetylcholine on acetylcholine receptors

Types of Incontinence •

Reflux incontinence – Involuntary loss of urine due to Hyperreflexia in the absence of normal sensation – Associated with spinal cord injuries

Types of Incontinence •

Overflow incontinence – Involuntary loss of urine due to over-distention of the bladder • • • •

Bladder is unable to empty normally  over distended  frequent urination (just over flow)  Incontinence
