RESULTS: Four categories of recommendations (ethics and regulation issues, assessment of pelvic floor muscle function and dysfunction, health education and return to in-person care) were proposed. CONCLUSION: This study provides some guidance for continuity of the physiotherapist's work in urogynecology during the COVID-19 pandemic, considering the World Health Organization recommendations and the epidemiological public health situation of each region. Finally, expert consensus was used to create and summarize the following topics: (1) recommendations about the continuity of physiotherapy care during the COVID-19 pandemic, ethics and regulation issues; (2) recommendations on physiotherapeutic assessment of PFD symptoms and PFM function using telephysiotherapy; (3) health education recommendations and specific recommendations about physiotherapeutic interventions for women with PFD during the pandemic; (4) returning to in-person clinical care. ./cache/cord-301992-oin1m0uq.txt ./txt/cord-301992-oin1m0uq.txt
