About
Dr. Jinne E. Geelen is a researcher whose work lies at the intersection of orthopedic rehabilitation and sensorimotor neuroscience, with a particular focus on the long-term functional consequences of distal radius fractures in older adults. Her most-cited study, "A long-term effect of distal radius fracture on the sensorimotor control of the wrist joint in older adults" (2020), has garnered 4 citations and provides critical insights into how even seemingly well-healed fractures can leave lasting deficits in proprioception and motor control. This work challenges the conventional view that radiographic healing equates to full functional recovery, highlighting the need for targeted sensorimotor rehabilitation in geriatric populations. Dr. Geelen’s research bridges a gap between acute orthopedic care and chronic neuromuscular adaptation, offering evidence that can inform clinical guidelines for post-fracture therapy. Her contributions are particularly valuable for clinicians and researchers working to improve quality of life in aging populations, where fall-related wrist fractures are common. By quantifying subtle but persistent impairments, Dr. Geelen’s work underscores the importance of long-term follow-up and interdisciplinary approaches in orthopedic rehabilitation.
