Abstract
Urinary incontinence is one of the most embarrassing disabilities in the el derly people. It may be defined as an involuntary loss of urine in a quanti ty or frequency sufficient to cause a social or hygienic problem. Its magni tude is both overlooked and underestimated by the medical community. Unfort unately, urinary incontinence lacks the glamour of other 'high tech' medica l problems.
