Description of scientific activity

The main scientific interests are in the field of neuroplasticity, early neurorehabilitation of patients after brain trauma and stroke, multisensory stimulation and neuromodulation.

Important goals of clinical activity are the establishment of early neurorehabilitation for a group of patients with severe brain damage in the Czech Republic, implementation of neurostimulation and neuromodulation methods, introduction of early mobilization and multisensory stimulation in intensive care units, development of rehabilitation concepts for patients after burn trauma. Teaching in bachelor's and master's fields, supervisor of postgraduate studies in the field of neurosciences. Regular teaching activities abroad.

The main publications include books: 2005 Neurorehabilitace (Galen Praha); 2009 Trauma mozku a jeho rehabilitace (Galen Praha); 2012 Rehabilitace pacientů v kómatu (Galen Praha); 2014 Rehabilitace po cévní mozkové příhodě (Galen Praha); 2020 Multisenzorická stimulace (Galen Praha) 2021.
