title: Pelvic muscle reeducation as a nursing treatment for incontinence.
abstract: Pelvic muscle reeducation is a safe, effective, conservative therapy for patients with UI. The success of the method depends on the proper selection of patients and the active participation of a cooperative patient. However, it is of limited use in patients with cognitive impairment. Methods exist to assist the nurse in pelvic muscle reeducation.
