Incontinence. The pelvic floor function.

Abstract

The most commonly found contributing factor in incontinence is weakness of the pelvic floor muscles. This is true for patients with stress incontinence and for patients in need of a bladder retraining programme. Simple assessment and strengthening procedures for these muscles give the general practitioner a powerful tool for treating and preventing weakness.
