Journal ArticleDOI
Aspiration and swallowing in Parkinson disease and rehabilitation with EMST: A randomized trial
Michelle S. Troche,Michael S. Okun,John C. Rosenbek,Nan Musson,Hubert H. Fernandez,Ramon L. Rodriguez,Janet Romrell,Teresa Pitts,K.M. Wheeler-Hegland,Christine M. Sapienza +9 more
TL;DR: This intervention study provides Class I evidence that swallow safety as defined by PA score improved post EMST, and may be explained by improved hyolaryngeal complex movement.
Journal ArticleDOI
Strength-training exercise in dysphagia rehabilitation: principles, procedures, and directions for future research.
Lori M. Burkhead,Lori M. Burkhead,Lori M. Burkhead,Christine M. Sapienza,Christine M. Sapienza,John C. Rosenbek,John C. Rosenbek +6 more
TL;DR: The overriding principles of neuromuscular plasticity with regard to strength training are explored and directions for future study of normal and disordered swallowing are postulated to incorporate these principles into dysphagia rehabilitation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of expiratory muscle strength training on voluntary cough and swallow function in Parkinson disease.
Teresa Pitts,Donald C. Bolser,John C. Rosenbek,Michelle S. Troche,Michael S. Okun,Christine M. Sapienza +5 more
TL;DR: It is shown that EMST is a viable treatment modality for a population of participants with PD at risk of aspiration and significant decreases in the P/A scores were found posttraining.
Journal ArticleDOI
Three treatments for teachers with voice disorders: a randomized clinical trial.
Nelson Roy,Barbara Weinrich,Steven D. Gray,Kristine Tanner,Joseph C. Stemple,Christine M. Sapienza +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated treatment approaches aimed at rehabilitating these occupation-related voice problems and found that voice problems are a common occupational hazard of teaching school, yet few studies exist that have objectively evaluated treatment approach aimed at rehabilitation.
Journal ArticleDOI
The relationship between quality of life and swallowing in Parkinson's disease†
Emily K. Plowman-Prine,Christine M. Sapienza,Michael S. Okun,Stephenie L. Pollock,Charles E. Jacobson,Samuel S. Wu,John C. Rosenbek +6 more
TL;DR: These exploratory data highlight the psychosocial sequelae that swallowing impairment can have in those with IPD and suggest a possible association between swallowing, social function, and depression.
