Aims: This case series was completed to determine the effectiveness of an interdisciplinary (occupational and physical therapy) approach to treating constipation and fecal incontinence in children. Non-pharmacological therapies for treating constipation and incontinence are showing potential benefits, especially for children not responding to standard medical treatment, which involves oral laxatives for fecal dis-impaction (cleanout) and maintenance dosing to prevent further impaction.

Methods: A retrospective chart review, surface electromyography (sEMG) biofeedback, and parent and child reports of progress was completed for two children ages 4 and 10 years old.
