Abstract

This two-year project demonstrated a significant decrease over time in urinary accidents after instruction in Kegel exercises augmented by the use of biofeedback, habit training, and relaxation techniques in 54 cognitively intact volunteers aged 60 years and over who had stress, urge or complex types of incontinence. This decrease in urinary accidents per week was maintained from the end of focused treatment through 6-month and 1-year follow-up, despite the age of the participants, previous urinary-related surgeries, or duration of incontinence.
