I think it means the subject has little or no control over the functions of bladder or bowels.

Incontinence usually refers to lack of bladder control (more properly known as incontinence of urine). Someone unfortunate enough to be doubly incontinent may also have no control over their bowels (faeces) or in some cases may vomit serveral times daily.
