Clinically Relevant Anatomy
[edit | edit source]
add text here relating to clinically relevant anatomy of the condition
Mechanism of Injury / Pathological Process
[edit | edit source]
Definitions: [edit | edit source]
- Urinary incontinence (symptom): Complaint of involuntary loss of urine.
- Stress (urinary) incontinence: Complaint of involuntary loss of urine on effort or physical exertion (e.g. sporting activities), or on sneezing or coughing.
- Urgency (urinary) incontinence: Complaint of involuntary loss of urine associated with urgency.
- Mixed (urinary) incontinence: Complaint of involuntary loss of urine associated with urgency and also effort or physical exertion or on sneezing or coughing.
- Urgency: Complaint of a sudden, compelling desire to pass urine which is difficult to defer.
- Overactive bladder (OAB, Urgency) syndrome: Urinary urgency, usually accompanied by frequency and nocturia, with or without urgency urinary incontinence, in the absence of urinary tract infection or other obvious pathology.[1]
Clinical Presentation[edit | edit source]
add text here relating to the clinical presentation of the condition
Diagnostic Procedures[edit | edit source]
add text here relating to diagnostic tests for the condition
Outcome Measures[edit | edit source]
- Incontinence Quality of Life Instrument (IQOL)
- Patient Global Impression of Improvement (PGI-I)
- Patient Global Impression of Severity (PGI-S)
- Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory - 20 (PFDI - 20)
- Pelvic Floor Impact Questionnaire - 7 (PFIQ - 7)
Management / Interventions
[edit | edit source]
add text here relating to management approaches to the condition
Differential Diagnosis
[edit | edit source]
Pelvic Floor Muscle Strength[edit | edit source]
Modified Oxford grading system:
- 0 - no contraction
- 1 - flicker
- 2 - weak squeeze, no lift
- 3 - fair squeeze, definite lift
- 4 - good squeeze with lift
- 5 - strong squeeze with a lift
Palpation of the pelvic floor muscles per the vagina in females and per the rectum in male patients.[2]
PERFECT mnemonic assessment, described by Jo Laycock[2]:[edit | edit source]
- P - power, may use the Modified Oxford grading scale
- E - endurance, the time (in seconds) that a maximum contraction can be sustained
- R - repetition, the number of repetitions of a maximum voluntary contraction
- F - fast contractions, the number of fast (one second) maximum contractions
- ECT - every contraction timed, reminds the therapist to continually overload the muscle activity for strengthening
Key Evidence[edit | edit source]
