Overflow effect of high intensity exercise in the treatment of urinary incontinence in spinal stroke: a case study

Myers, C.;Smith, M.

Abstract

Spinal cord infarction is rare, often with a sudden onset of symptoms including bladder and bowel dysfunction, paralysis and sensory disturbances. This case reports the efficacy of a therapeutic exercise program as a non-invasive functional treatment for urinary incontinence and reports its results. It describes a 67-year-old woman who experienced a T10-L1 anterior spinal cord infarction living with residual urinary incontinence and lower limb sensory and strength deficits. This case describes a common symptom of spinal cord infarction and the overflow effect of high volume exercise prescription in addressing urinary incontinence. It highlights the potential use of co-contraction techniques in the conservative management of neurogenic lower urinary tract symptoms.
