Pelvic simulators exist and are a valuable supplement to the medical curriculum, yet none demonstrate pelvic floor muscle (PFM) function or dysfunction. To design effective simulators, an assessment of end-user requirements is essential.<h4>Objective</h4>This study aimed to elicit physiotherapists' needs and requirements for a high-fidelity PFM simulator and the associated use cases.<h4>Methods</h4>This study followed a mixed methods design by collecting qualitative and quantitative data from a web-based survey.
