Urinary managements of 332 stroke patients in the chronic phase were performed at Bobath hospital. Cerebrovascular accidents (CVA) were caused by cerebral infarction in 178 (53.6%), intracerebral hemorrhage in 123 (37.1%) and subarachnoid hemorrhage in 31 (9.3%). Voluntary urination appeared in 124 patients before treatment, however in 29 of them occasional incontinence were observed. One hundred forty-three patients used diapers and 64 were controlled by indwelling catheters. The remaining one patient was treated by intermittent catheterization. Sixty-two patients who seemed to have communicative abilities in daily living were assessed with regard to their cerebrovascular dementia by Hasegawa's Dementia Rating Scale. After treatment 235 patients (70.8%) were able to urinate voluntarily, and only 15 of them remained incontinent and could use small pads successfully. TURP was effective for the stroke patients with benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH) or bladder neck sclerosis (BNS). Fifty-three patients (16.0%) with persistent urinary incontinence were managed by diapers or a system of condom drainage. Thirty-nine patients (11.7%) were kept dry with intermittent catheterization at home, and long-standing use of indwelling catheters were required in the remaining 5 patients (1.5%). These results indicate that the lower level of activity, mobility and mental state tended to prevent the stroke patients from improvement of urinary disorders.
