This course focuses on the treatment of children with day or nighttime incontinence, fecal incontinence, and dysfunctional voiding habits. Children with special needs, Sensory Processing disorders or musculoskeletal asymmetries frequently develop poor bowel and bladder habits including constipation. As pediatric bladder and bowel dysfunction can persist into adulthood, pelvic rehabilitation providers must direct attention to the pediatric population to improve the health in our patient populations. This course begins with instruction in anatomy, physiology, and in development of normal voiding reflexes and urinary control. Common causes of incontinence in the pediatric patient will be covered. The participant will learn medical and therapy evaluation concepts for bowel and bladder dysfunction, bedwetting and constipation. A comprehensive approach to evaluation will be instructed including video examinations of the pelvic floor using surface electromyography (SEMG) biofeedback, rehabilitative ultrasound imaging, as well as pediatric pelvic floor external manual techniques to teach proper evacuation. Case studies will be presented to compliment the course with evaluation, treatment examples based on diagnosis and progressions through discharge.
