Rersearch work Research work of the department includes development, testing and implementation of criteria for assessment of adaptive capacity and correction according to physical loads, evaluation of physical working capacity. The staff of department are working on topic “Research and testing of different methods for definition of working capacity” Clinic al work Main base of department – theoretical and practical medical center “Specialized medical section”. Since 02.02.2009 the department has been located in affiliate of rehabilitation, where inpatients and outpatients are taking physical rehabilitation and section of restorative treatment for orthopedic and traumatological patients.
Curriculum: Wolfgang Bauermeister is a world-renowned pioneer of trigger medicine who developed novel diagnostic and therapeutic approaches in Sports and Pain Medicine. He graduated from medical school in 1974, and received his PhD degree in 1975 in Hamburg, Germany. Working as an anaesthesiologist, emergency and diving medicine specialist he became interested in pain and sports medicine. In 1980, he migrated to the USA where received his US-medical degree. He worked in pain clinics and received formal training in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at TUFTS University in Boston, Massachusetts. As a diplomate of the American Board of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation since 1989, he returned to Germany to work as a director of different rehabilitation hospitals. There he pioneered the trigger point shock wave therapy and the trigger point ultrasound elastography. He works in Munich as the Director of Pain Institute. Besides the clinical work he conducts research and development in cooperation with international scientists and universities. He is the author of several books and scientific publications. He was awarded the title of “Honorary Professor of Kharkiv National Medical University” in 2017 and has been working as Professor of the Department of Physical Rehabilitation, Sports Medicine with a course of Physical Education and Health at KhNMU since 2018.
