Overview

Jeffrey A. Kleim is affiliated with Arizona State University in the United States. Their primary research area focuses on medicine, encompassing diverse subfields such as pathology and forensic medicine, psychiatry and mental health, and surgery. Kleim's scholarly contributions span topics related to spinal cord injury research, cerebral palsy and movement disorders, and nerve injury and rehabilitation.

Their work includes collaboration with several frequent co-authors:

  • Dena R. Howland
  • Shelley A. Trimble
  • Emily J. Fox
  • Nicole J. Tester
  • Martina R. Spiess

Kleim's research has been published in journals including the Journal of Neuroscience Research.

One notable recent paper authored with Dena R. Howland is titled "Recovery of walking in nonambulatory children with chronic spinal cord injuries: Case series," published in 2023 in the Journal of Neuroscience Research. This paper contributes to the field of spinal cord injury research, combining clinical observations with rehabilitation outcomes.

The scientific topics Kleim engages with involve understanding mechanisms and therapies related to nerve injury and rehabilitation as well as movement disorders linked to cerebral palsy. These topics reflect a multidisciplinary approach that draws from surgery and mental health aspects within medicine.
