Research Interests
Dr. Keating's research focuses on improving pain experience measurement in individuals with lateral elbow tendinopathy. His work aims to develop more accurate and comprehensive measures to inform personalized treatment decisions made through shared decision-making models. He seeks to identify associations and predictive models between pain experience and other factors, leading to potential sub-classifications of patients for more targeted and effective treatment approaches.
