Urinary and fecal incontinence can be one of the most stigmatizing and embarrassing disabilities to afflict both men and women in society today. The causes and types of incontinence can be varied (and can affect anyone at any age not just the young or the elderly). The cost to the individual can be measured in loss of confidence, embarrassment, social isolation, relationship stress and breakdown, not just in laundering and costs of continence products. However there is hope for individuals afflicted with incontinence. New therapies, products and appliances and building design can all assist the individual. This program will examine management strategies to assist individuals and their caregivers to maintain dignity and independence.
