Abstract

Study Design: Case study.

Purpose: There is very less literature available regarding physical therapy intervention in urinary retention after cauda equina syndrome (CES); hence we report our case followed till 1 year postoperatively.

Overview: This study investigates the effect of pelvic floor exercises with faradic stimulation on urinary retention in post operative case of CES.

Keywords: Cauda Equina Syndrome (CES); Pelvic Floor; Physical Therapy
