Summary: The use of biofeedback in the treatment of dysphagia in patients with PD shows potential positive effects on swallowing-related quality of life. However, existing studies have low methodological quality and high risk of bias, future research should be rigorously designed to determine the optimal types, schedules, and timing of biofeedback treatment.

Summary: This study aimed to identify and characterize subgroups of stroke patients with clinical signs of dysphagia based on swallowing-related strength and skill impairments of the submental muscle group. The research found several subgroups within stroke patients in terms of swallowing function, while healthy and myopathic participants demonstrated predominantly homogeneous swallowing patterns. Skill assessment in swallowing may play a more predictive role in classification of swallowing function.

Summary: The study aimed to assess if muscles in PD exhibit a different myoelectric fatigue pattern compared to healthy age-matched subjects. Results showed that parkinsonian muscles do not differ in developing peripheral myoelectric fatigue compared to healthy age-matched subjects.

Summary: The strength and endurance of the tongue are significantly reduced in Parkinson's disease, and weakness in tongue lift may be an indicator of disease progression. Tongue strength is higher in the early stage of the disease and significantly different from that of more severe stages, suggesting that it is a sensitive indicator of disease progression. Selected items regarding swallowing quality of life are strongly associated with tongue strength.

Summary: The study investigated the reliability and validity of pupillary response during dual-task balance conditions in individuals with Parkinson disease (PD). The results showed excellent test-retest reliability and validity of pupillary response in PD patients and healthy controls during dual-task balance. Increased mental demand was significantly correlated with increased pupillary response in individuals with PD.

Summary: This study aimed to explore the barriers to home exercise for patients with Parkinson's disease (PwPDs) and provide guidelines for healthcare providers. The findings identified five themes including psychosomatic stress and low activity, lack of early rehabilitation authorisation, poor 'flow' state of home exercise, inaccessibility of continued service, and sociocultural impact on family coping. By addressing these challenges through multidisciplinary management, early rehabilitation authorisation, exercise experience, continuous service mode, and family coping strategies, the home exercise behavior of PwPDs can be gradually improved.

Summary: The study identified that the incidence of dysphagia after ischemic stroke was 32.3%. Predictive factors for the presence of dysphagia included age, low BMI, premorbid disabilities, brainstem lesions, and NIHSS.

Summary: This study compared the duration of swallowing events in healthy individuals, people with Parkinson disease (PwPD), and people with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (PwALS). The results showed that PwPD and PwALS had longer overall swallowing durations compared to healthy controls, with greater prolongations for higher viscosity boluses.

Summary: This study investigated the effect of robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) on gait automaticity, speed, and balance in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). While improvements were seen in walking speed and balance, gait automaticity did not improve with RAGT using an exoskeleton-type robot. Additional therapeutic components may be needed to enhance gait automaticity in PD patients.

Summary: Drooling in Parkinson's disease patients is associated with swallowing difficulties but not with health-related quality of life. Age, gender, disease duration, and the H & Y stage seem to be similar between PD patients with and without drooling.

Summary: Physical training in Parkinson disease improves motor performance, alleviates nonmotor symptoms, and enhances cognition and quality of life. Adherence to exercise is low, but training at home using virtual reality and exergaming can increase motivation and adherence. Utilizing a novel telerehabilitation training program involving a treadmill-virtual reality system at home for two patients with Parkinson disease resulted in high adherence to training, increased walking duration, improved patient confidence, gait speed, and mobility. Training multiple participants simultaneously was feasible and allowed for an individualized treatment approach while conserving therapist time.

Summary: This study evaluated the effectiveness of physical exercise in improving depressive symptoms in Parkinson's disease patients. The research found that physical exercise significantly decreased depression symptoms and improved quality of life in patients. Future clinical practice guidelines should consider recommending physical exercise for reducing depressive symptoms in Parkinson's disease patients.

Summary: Depression is a common non-motor symptom in Parkinson's disease (PD), affecting up to 50% of patients and impacting their quality of life. This study aims to compare the efficacy and safety of different non-pharmacological interventions for PD depression through a systematic review and network meta-analysis.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of hoarseness and its association with the severity of dysphagia in patients with sarcopenic dysphagia. The results showed that hoarseness was associated with the severity of dysphagia at baseline, but not a prognostic factor for sarcopenic dysphagia.

Summary: This study aims to verify the relationship between tongue pressure and airway protection in Parkinson's disease patients. The study found that Parkinson's disease patients had a decline in tongue pressure and exhibited poorer scores in the pharyngeal phase of swallowing. This research provides a potential clinical application for the assessment and management of dysphagia in Parkinson's disease patients.

Summary: The study aimed to investigate the impact of Buteyko breathing technique on dyspnea and hyperventilation in patients with exertion-induced PVFM. The results showed that BBT treatment had a positive effect on patients, with improvements in dyspnea severity and respiratory indicators post-treatment, indicating the need for further research.

Summary: The study highlights the limited training access for SLTs working with tracheostomy patients in Israel, calling for the establishment of a competency framework with access to training and supervision. The presence of multidisciplinary teams (MDTs) contributes to higher confidence levels among SLTs. Most SLTs work in rehabilitation settings, indicating a need to establish minimal standards of care in acute care, critical care, and internal medicine wards.

Summary: The study found a high prevalence of swallowing difficulties, malnutrition, and frailty among community-dwelling older participants, with suspected dysphagia being associated with higher risk of malnutrition and frailty. Participants with malnutrition exhibited poorer swallowing capacity and eating functions, while decreased grip strength was correlated with frailty, malnutrition, and impaired swallowing function.

Summary: This study found that residents who required texture-modified foods were consuming food textures that were more challenging to swallow than intended. Differences were found in food texture between when it left the kitchen and 30 min later. Pureed texture had greater consumption than regular textured food. Food consumption was highest during breakfast and reduced during lunch, which may negatively impact overall nutrient intake.
