External Pelvic Floor Biofeedback for Children With Spinal Cord Injury: A Case Series

This case report described how occupational therapy practitioners used external pelvic floor biofeedback as an adjunct conservative treatment strategy when providing care for pediatric children with recent incomplete spinal cord injury. Plain-Language Summary: Neurogenic bladder dysfunction following incomplete spinal cord injury can negatively affect a child's quality of life and social participation. Occupational therapy practitioners are uniquely able to address bladder management within the context of toileting for children with acquired incomplete spinal cord injury. A multimodal approach, which includes biofeedback, may improve the child's level of independence with toileting.

Abstract

This case report described how occupational therapy practitioners used external pelvic floor biofeedback as an adjunct conservative treatment strategy when providing care for pediatric children with recent incomplete spinal cord injury. Plain-Language Summary: Neurogenic bladder dysfunction following incomplete spinal cord injury can negatively affect a child's quality of life and social participation. Occupational therapy practitioners are uniquely able to address bladder management within the context of toileting for children with acquired incomplete spinal cord injury. A multimodal approach, which includes biofeedback, may improve the child's level of independence with toileting.
