Her research interests include strength training, rehabilitation for chronic low back pain, athletic performance enhancement, and the application of WB-EMS in both clinical and occupational settings. She frequently employs randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and meta-analytic methods to evaluate intervention efficacy.

The most recent articles reflect a strong trend in using WB-EMS as an alternative or supplement to conventional training, especially for improving strength, jump performance, and pain reduction in patients with chronic low back pain. Her work also extends to public safety personnel, such as volunteer firefighters, assessing their physical fitness and training needs.

There are currently no listed scientific awards or honors in the provided information.

Dr. Dörmann collaborates extensively with researchers such as Heinz Kleinöder, Nicolas Wirtz, and Florian Micke. She has been involved in externally funded projects related to physiological responses to EMS during training. While no formal advising role is mentioned, her collaborative research environment suggests active mentorship in practice. She contributed to a media-covered study on fitness testing for volunteer firefighters, indicating public engagement.

She is part of a dynamic research team investigating the physiological and performance impacts of novel training modalities, with a focus on practical, evidence-based applications in sports and rehabilitation.
