I'm trying to remember where I've seen this, and don't have a reference readily to hand. I also remember seeing some research indicating that hypermobile joints (with increased susceptibility to strain and sprain) in young athletic women was associated with later urinary incontinence. I believe the researchers theorized that it had to do with the distensibility/rigidity of connective tissue. Cheri

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
