Functional Movement Screen: functionality evaluation of elderly women with urinary incontinence

Abstract

Observational research with 22 old women (14 with stress urinary incontinence and 8 continent), in order to compare the functionality of elderly with and without urinary incontinence with Functional Movement Screen (FMS). There was no significant difference in functionality between the groups. Both scored low, which can be attributed to the aging process, due to the natural loss of strength, flexibility and balance.
