Abstract

A pad-weighing test of urinary stress incontinence during a set program of physical exercises is presented. The test was begun at a fixed bladder volume (75% of maximum capacity) and was repeated once. The duration of the exercises was approx. 15 min. Leakage was greater in the second test, but statistical analysis showed highly significant intra-individual correlation between the two amounts. Degree of leakage was not correlated to subjective assessment of incontinence. The test can be done as part of a routine urody-namic investigation.
