Summary

Existing research highlights the difficulty of identifying an optimal rehabilitation technique for improving male urinary continence. However, several authors have demonstrated the benefits of treatment based on improving movement control, often referred to as postural motor contro. The main principles are: respect for the neutral lumbopelvic position, reduction of intra-abdominal constraints and ecology of movement. With the aim of encouraging patient-centred clinical practice, patients are asked to fill in an assessment form on which they note the most disabling gestures with regard to their UI during the initial assessment. In our experience, 'sitting down or getting up from a chair' is the item most frequently and most severely reported. In practical terms, posture and body movements play a vital role in the management of pelvic strain. For example, excessive pressure on the bladder due to poor postural control would increase stress on the bladder. Optimal postural control would have the advantage of reducing and promoting continence mechanisms. If we take the example of the transition from sitting to standing, postural control aims to improve neuromuscular coordination and promote continence.

In the context of health education during the first session, it might be interesting to study the impact of modifying postural control when standing/sitting on urinary incontinence and how patients feel about it.
