Introduction: One of the most frequent public health issues between older females is urinary incontinence (UI). Regardless of conventional cure as the initial alternative, the outcomes of physical therapy in older females with UI is imprecise. Objective This survey intended to analytically assess the confirmation about the consequences of physical therapy on urinary indicators in older females with UI. Method The literature exploration for surveys estimating traditional cure for incontinency in elderly females was performed on PubMed/Medline, Lilacs, Scielo, ISI Web of Knowledge. We picked medical tests published in English after the year 2003. The procedural quality of the surveys was appraised applying the Pedro degree. The effects were investigated using a significant assessment technique. Results: Eight surveys were entirely reviewed exposing that pelvic floor muscle exercise was the cure choice in most surveys. Seven of the eight chosen surveys were categorized as having elevated methodological excellence. There was considerable enhancement in urinary indicators after healing in seven of the eight selected surveys. Conclusions: It was finalized that physical therapy healing appears to be useful to reduce urinary incontinence signs in older females. Nevertheless, the tiny number of surveys and the use of concomitant interventions limit the ending on this matter.
