Clients who suffer from stress incontinence have weak pelvic floor muscles or urethral sphincter and cannot tighten their urethra sufficiently to overcome the increased detrusor pressure. Stress incontinence is common after childbirth, when the pelvic muscles are stretched and weakened from pregnancy and delivery. Urge incontinence occurs in people who cannot suppress the con-traction signal from the detrusor muscle. Abnormal detrusor contractions may be a result of neu-rologic abnormalities or may occur with no known abnormality.
