Motivation:

I am very excited to join a TReND project, that gives the opportunity to work with experts from different fields, to develop my career and to gain knowledge. My experience as a physician makes me realise how important it is to integrate theoretical knowledge into clinical practice. Therefore, I am looking forward to receiving a meaningful scientific contribution, that will help in the rehabilitation process and adhere to evidence-based practice.
