    My NIH COMMONS name is JOKEEFE.

    Research Areas:
    Joan Ann (Joanne) O’Keefe, PhD, PT has extensive clinical and research expertise in evaluating gait, balance, and other motor functions in patients with movement disorders. She received her B.S. in Physical Therapy from the University of Illinois-Chicago, her PhD in Anatomy and Neurobiology from Loyola University Chicago and completed her postdoctoral training at the University of Kentucky. She is presently an Associate Professor of Anatomy & Cell Biology with joint appointments in Neurological Sciences and Occupational Therapy. Her research expertise is in the detection, characterization, and examination of underlying neural mechanisms of gait and balance impairments and associated cognitive interactions in neurodegenerative movement disorders including Fragile X-associated tremor/ataxia syndrome (FXTAS), Parkinson’s disease, and Huntington’s disease.

    PMC Citations indicate the number of times the publication was cited by articles in PubMed Central, and the Altmetric score represents citations in news articles and social media. (Note that publications are often cited in additional ways that are not shown here.) Fields are based on how the National Library of Medicine (NLM) classifies the publication's journal and might not represent the specific topic of the publication. Translation tags are based on the publication type and the MeSH terms NLM assigns to the publication. Some publications (especially newer ones and publications not in PubMed) might not yet be assigned Field or Translation tags.) Click a Field or Translation tag to filter the publications.
