Abstract

Congenital malformations are morphological changes originating from embryonic development and can be due to genetic, environmental or both. In individuals suffering from congenital spinal injuries, the neurogenic bladder (BN) is one of the disorders with the greatest impact on daily life and the main urological objective is to improve urinary management and social continence, to decrease high bladder pressures and prevent kidney damage. This condition reflects several repercussions, such as a decrease in quality of life, progression to invasive procedures, kidney injury and death. Objective: To systematically review the studies published in the last 10 years regarding the role of physical therapy in urinary incontinence (UI) in congenital spinal injuries. Method: Systematic literature, between the years 2009 to 2019, in the electronic databases Pubmed, Bireme and PEDro. Results: There was no great conformity in relation to the techniques used, but in relation to the analyzed outcomes, with studies on UI in spina bifida being verified. Conclusion: Physical therapy proved to be beneficial for cases of UI in congenital spinal injuries, improving urodynamic parameters and the outcome in the voiding diary.
