description Abstract Background Urinary incontinence (UI) is linked to an increase in social disengagement, fractures and falls, depression, lack of concentration, elevated anxiety, and nursing home admissions, which has a significant negative impact on quality of life and the economy. Respiratory illness is regarded as a risk factor for urinary incontinence as coughing, and dyspnea raises the intra-abdominal pressure and results in an additional strain on the bladder. If the pelvic floor muscles (PFM) are weak, this might then cause leaking. Methods A literature search was conducted using multiple databases for physiotherapeutic treatment options for urinary incontinence in COPD for the present review. Results A keyword search yielded 9081 articles of which 11 articles were included in the present review according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Conclusion There is a lack of studies involving both conditions; for treatment, we can combine some physiotherapy interventions of UI with COPD to achieve the desired result and as suitable for the patient.
