My profile
Biography
My primary research interests revolve around the psychometric properties of outcome measures used in rehabilitation. Additionally, I am actively involved in numerous projects focused on the assessment and rehabilitation of individuals with neurological diseases, primarily multiple sclerosis. To date, I have authored more than 80 articles in international scientific journals.
Furthermore, I am a founding board member of the Multiple Sclerosis Research Association and currently serve as its secretary.
