TL;DR
In this select cohort of first-time stroke patients admitted for a postacute inpatient rehabilitation program, the incidence of urinary incontinence was lower than that reported in the literature and an association was found between urinaryincontinence and discharge destination and between urinary incentinence and functional ability on admission.
Abstract
In this select cohort, the incidence of urinary incontinence was lower than that reported in the literature. An association was found between urinary incontinence and discharge destination and between urinary incontinence and functional ability on admission.

There are three major mechanisms responsible for poststroke urinary incontinence: disruption of the neuromicturition pathways, resulting in bladder hyperreflexia and urgencyincontinence; incontinent due to stroke-related cognitive and language deficits, with normal bladder function; and concurrent neuropathy or medication use, resulted in bladder hyporeflexia and overflow incont leakage.

It is concluded that incontinence is more commonly a by‐product of immobility and dependency than of involvement of the neurologic pathways, and most of it is transient.

It seems possible that recovery of continence may promote morale and self-esteem which could actually hasten overall recovery, and a controlled trial of a rehabilitation programme, concentrating on restoration of bladder control in the early stages of stroke, is needed.
