Abstract:

Objective To perform a visualized analysis on the relevant literature about rehabilitation in pelvic floor dysfunction (PFD) domestic and abroad, and summarize the current hot spots and frontiers in this field.
Methods The literature related to PFD rehabilitation from January, 2012 to June, 2022 was searched and screened from the databases of CNKI and Web of Science, and the CiteSpace software was used to analyze the trends of publications, authors, institutions and key words.

In terms of research hotspots, both domestic and international researches focused on causes, mechanisms, rehabilitation techniques and evaluation indicators of PFD, but domestic researches had not paid enough attention to evaluation indicators and prevention of PFD. The key words constantly appeared in 2022 were mechanisms of PFD due to pregnancy, treatment of postoperative complications in prostate cancer patients, the role of pelvic floor muscle training, and quality of life studies in women.
Conclusion Research related to the field of PFD rehabilitation is increasing. There is still a large gap for future development in China.
