Dr. Petar Petrov serves as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Kinesitherapy at the Faculty of Public Health, Medical University - Sofia. With clinical expertise developed across Bulgaria's premier rehabilitation institutions including 'Serdika' Rehabilitation Hospital, Rego - Specialized Rehabilitation Center, and 'Tsaritsa Joanna - ISUL' University Hospital, he bridges academic theory with practical patient care.

His research focuses on neurorehabilitation of patients with acute and chronic neurological conditions, particularly stroke survivors and those with craniocerebral injuries, spinal cord trauma, and multiple sclerosis. Petrov specializes in motor function recovery through evidence-based kinesitherapy protocols, with particular interest in dynamic balance restoration in ischemic stroke patients as demonstrated in his neurosonology publications.

Analysis of his recent publications reveals expanding research interests connecting physiotherapy with cystic fibrosis management, particularly regarding treatment adherence and multidisciplinary care approaches for respiratory conditions. His work demonstrates growing integration of neurological rehabilitation principles with broader respiratory disease management.
