Urinary incontinence is one of the most common problems afflicting older adults and a major contributor to healthcare costs for homebound older individuals. The authors conducted a randomized controlled clinical study examining the effectiveness of biofeedback-assisted pelvic floor muscle training and prompted voiding in treating urinary incontinence in homebound older adults. This article briefly describes the assessment and treatment protocols utilized during this study and describes their subsequent application to clinical practice within a large urban home health agency.
