Communication difficulties in adults with Intellectual Disability: Results from a national cross-sectional study
(2020)Background: People with an intellectual disability (ID) are vulnerable to communication impairments, with consequences for employment, education, and social participation. Aims: To identify the communication skills ... -
Development of a Core Outcome Set for Dysphagia Interventions in Parkinson's disease (COS-DIP)
(2024)Introduction: Current clinical trials on swallowing disorders (dysphagia) in Parkinson's disease (PD) apply a high variety of outcomes and different outcome measures making comparative effectiveness research challenging. ... -
The Diagnostic Accuracy of the Pitch Glide to Identify Aspiration in Patients with Respiratory Diseases: A Pilot Study
(2019)Introduction: Initial research has been conducted to determine the diagnostic accuracy of the pitch glide during the clinical swallow evaluation to identify aspiration in adults after stroke. Findings suggest that reduced ... -
Dysphagia in Progressive Supranuclear Palsy: A Scoping Review
(2024)Introduction: One of the most prevalent types of atypical parkinsonian syndrome is progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP). PSP is associated with early onset of dysphagia which can result in malnutrition, dehydration, and ... -
Effectiveness of endoscopic cricopharyngeal myotomy in adults with neurological disease: systematic review
(2016)Objective: To determine the effectiveness of endoscopic cricopharyngeal myotomy on upper oesophageal sphincter dysfunction in adults with upper oesophageal sphincter dysfunction and neurological disease. Data ... -
The Epidemiology, Nature, and Impact of Eating and Swallowing Problems in Adults presenting with Temporomandibular Disorders.
(2020)Objective: Temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) are the most common non-dental orofacial pain disorders. Research suggests that patients with TMDs experience eating and swallowing problems, although information is sparse, ... -
ESSD commentary on oropharyngeal dysphagia management during the COVID-19 pandemic
(2020)Since the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 pandemic a Global Public Health Emergency, experts in swallowing are seeking guidance on service delivery and clinical procedures. The European Society for Swallowing ... -
Examining the Characteristics of Dysphagia on Instrumental Assessment in Atypical Parkinsonian Syndromes
(2024)This study aimed to determine the characteristic features of dysphagia on instrumental examination in individuals with APS. -
Impact of Sensory Stimulation on Pharyngo-esophageal Swallowing Biomechanics in Adults with Dysphagia: A High-Resolution Manometry Study
(2020)Evidence supporting sensory stimulation of swallowing is based mostly on videofluoroscopy and provides little insight into changes to swallowing physiology. In this study, the impact of sensory stimulation on pharyngo-esophageal ... -
The influence of bias in randomized controlled trials on rehabilitation intervention effect estimates: what we have learned from meta-epidemiological studies
(2024)This study aimed to synthesize evidence from studies that addressed the influence of bias domains in randomized controlled trials on rehabilitation intervention effect estimates and discuss how these findings can maximize ... -
An intensive neurorehabilitation programme with sEMG biofeedback to improve swallowing in Idiopathic Parkinson's disease (IPD): A feasibility study
(2023)Background: Studies suggest swallow intervention programmes that incorporate visual biofeedback and motor programming principles can improve swallowing and quality of life for people with idiopathic Parkinson's disease ... -
Inter-rater Reliability of the Dysphagia Outcome and Severity Scale (DOSS): Effects of Clinical Experience, Audio-Recording and Training
(2017)The Dysphagia Outcome and Severity Scale (DOSS) is widely used to measure dysphagia severity based on videofluoroscopy (VFSS). This study investigated inter-rater reliability (IRR) of the DOSS. It also determined the effect ... -
Interventions for Feeding and Swallowing Disorders in Adults with Intellectual Disability: A Systematic Review of the Evidence
(2020)Feeding and swallowing disorders are prevalent in adults with Intellectual Disability (ID) and can potentially lead to discomfort, malnutrition, dehydration, aspiration, and choking. Most common interventions ...
