The following processes were tracked formation of the first training centres for the motor rehabilitation and creating an teaching standards, program of specialisation for physiotherapists. Introduction of the term „physiotherapy in place of the functioning of the term „motor rehabilitation has initiated changes within the domain of legislative activities. In accordance with the Bologna Declaration new levels of education were created, which resulted in the acquisition of certain skills and professional titles.
