Abstract
To determine the validity of the Bonney test as a prognostic screening test for urinary incontinence, the urethral and urethrovesical functions were studied under resting and stressful conditions. The characteristic similarity of changes was evident in the funcitonal profile length, close pressure and cough pressure profile of the urethra during performance of the Bonney test and intentional urethral occlusion. The Bonney test was invalidated by objectively demonstrating that the Bonney test restored continence under stress of coughing by obstructing the urethra and urethrovesical junction.
