    Area of Science:

    • Clinical Medicine
    • Rehabilitation Medicine
    • Medical Classification Systems

    Background:

    • Existing disease and disorder classifications lack comprehensive categorization for handicaps.
    • There is a need for a standardized clinical definition and classification of incontinence.
    • A broader classification of handicaps is under development to supplement current systems.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To offer a clinical definition of incontinence for consideration.
    • To present a clinical classification of various forms of incontinence.
    • To integrate incontinence into a wider classification of handicaps.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a clinical definition for incontinence.
    • Establishment of a hierarchical classification for incontinence within a broader handicap framework.
    • Distinguishing nine major categories of handicaps.

    Main Results:

    • Incontinence is defined clinically.
    • A classification system for incontinence is proposed.
    • Incontinence is classified as a "disorder of excretion," a division of "visceral handicap."

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed classification provides a structured approach to understanding and defining incontinence.
    • Incontinence is systematically categorized within a broader framework of human handicaps.
    • This classification aids in supplementing existing medical and disorder classifications.
