Generate a tailored SOP for Dr. Stina Gunnarsson. Improve your application with a focused, well-structured draft.
Stina Gunnarsson is an Affiliated Researcher at Linköping University whose research primarily focuses on the effects of visual therapy on patients with visual impairments resulting from brain injuries, tumors, and COVID-19. Her work emphasizes how visual function impacts patients' everyday activities, investigating the vulnerabilities of the visual system to injuries and diseases. The research indicates that injuries can significantly impair visual functions in 50-80% of patients with acquired brain injuries, leading to various symptoms such as blurred vision, difficulty reading, double vision, and more. Vision therapy is applied as an initial approach which includes functional training of eye movement control, tailored to the patient's needs and integrated into their daily activities. Her studies aim to improve visual functions and symptom reporting and highlight the necessity for further research in this area.
