Disability and incontinence

Incontinence is fairly common and may be due to a variety of causes, not just bladder dysfunction. Attention to detail will often overcome incontinence, especially if mobility is the major problem. Aids available include those designed to improve independence, such as commodes and personal urinals, aids to be used in the lavatory, such as raised lavatory seats, and incontinence devices. These include pants and pads, external urinary appliances and catheterization.
