Biofeedback BFB can be defined as a training technique that utilizes monitoring instruments to detect and amplify internal physiological processes, and presents this ordinarily unavailable information by audio and or visual means to patients. This information is usually displayed in a quantitative manner and used by the patients to learn specific tasks. Urinary Incontinence. Urinary incontinence UI affects people of all ages especially elderly women. Among adults, there are 4 prevalent types of UI i stress incontinence closure problem, ii urge incontinence storage problem, iii overflow incontinence, and iv mixed stress and urge incontinence. In women, stress incontinence is generally caused by an incompetent urethral mechanism which arises from damage to the sphincters or weakening of the bladder neck support that typically occurred during childbirth. Some women develop stress incontinence as a consequence of multiple anti incontinence procedures resulting in a condition known as intrinsic urethral sphincter deficiency   In man, stress incontinence is usually a consequence of operations for benign prostatic hypertrophy or prostatic carcinoma. Urge incontinence is usually associated with an over activity of the detrusor muscle. When the involuntary contraction of the detrusor muscle is associated with a neurological deficit, it is known as detrusor hyperreflexia. On the other hand, when detrusor over activity is not associated with any neurological deficit, it is labeled as detrusor instability unstable bladder. Overflow incontinence may be due to an underactive detrusor muscle or obstruction of the urethra. In men, overflow incontinence associated with obstruction is usually due to prostatic hyperplasia. Urethral obstruction in women may occur as a consequence of anti incontinence operation or severe prolapse of the uterus or relaxation of the anterior vaginal wall with cystocele or cystourethrocele. It is now generally accepted that behavioral techniques, because of their relatively non invasive and low risk approaches, have become the first line treatment for UI. Other techniques that may be used in combination with behavioral therapies include biofeedback, vaginal cone retention and electrostimulation even though the effectiveness of the latter in the treatment of certain types of UI is still unproven. The next step of treatment for UI is drug therapy followed by surgical interventions which include periurethral bulking injection of collagen. Pelvic muscle exercises can aid in strengthening the voluntary periurethral and pelvic muscles needed to maintain urinary continence since contractions of these muscles raise the urethral pressure. Indeed, this form of exercise is indicated for women with stress incontinence, men with incontinence following prostatic surgery, and patients with urge incontinence. Depending on the type of UI, patients are taught to contract the pelvic floor muscles, relax the detrusor and the abdominal muscles, andor contract the sphincters. Biofeedback has been suggested to be useful in teaching patients with UI pelvic muscle exercises because it relays to them whether they are contracting the right muscles and provides positive reinforcements as they acquire the skill during training sessions.

Kegels exercise is a safe and effective method for the treatment of stress incontinence, urge incontinence, and mixed stress and urge incontinence. The Agency for Health Care Policy and Research AHCPRs clinical practice guideline on urinary incontinence in adults states that biofeedback used in combination with other behavioral treatments such as pelvic muscle exercises and bladder training, can be useful in the reduction of symptoms associated with urinary incontinence.
