Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment and Care Strategies Practice Test

The main idea is that strengthening the pelvic floor muscles helps control urine flow by supporting the bladder and improving urethral closure, which reduces leakage. Pelvic floor exercises, or Kegels, train these muscles to contract and relax effectively, making urinary incontinence the condition most directly improved by this approach. While other conditions like chronic kidney disease, stroke, or osteoporosis involve different systems or issues, pelvic floor strengthening is not a primary treatment for them, even though stroke-related incontinence can sometimes be addressed as part of broader rehab.
