SUMMARY:

Introduction: Stroke is one of the primary causes of functional disability and death worldwide. Its disabling effects depend on the brain area affected. There is usually a greater focus on sensorimotor repercussions, but approximately 53% of affected patients report urinary incontinence (UI) four weeks after the stroke. UI can trigger sequelae that directly affect the quality of life of individuals, a public health problem. Therefore it is necessary to know if health professionals such as Brazilian physical therapists know about this topic. Objectives: The primary aim is to measure the knowledge of Brazilian physical therapists about urinary incontinence in post-stroke patients. The secondary objectives are: to identify whether they assess and/or treat UI in post-stroke patients, investigate the instruments and approaches they use in the assessment and treatment in clinical practice. Methods: This is an observational, cross-sectional, and analytical study. The study will follow the guidelines recommended by Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology - STROBE. It will be carried out at the national level, through an online form filled in via equipment that allows access to the internet. The study population will be composed of Brazilian physiotherapists, registered with the council, over 18 years old, who work in the clinical practice of rehabilitation of post-stroke patients in any country region. Participants will answer a questionnaire containing identification questions, knowledge about the types of UI, if and how they assess and treat UI in post-stroke patients. Expected results: It is expected for this study to understand the knowledge and management of physical therapists in the face of UI as a sequela present in patients affected by stroke.
