In this episode, I discuss the process of swallowing and areas of dysfunction of swallowing in Parkinson's disease. I explain the three phases of swallowing and many of the problems that occur in each stage related to Parkinson's disease. Then I describe testing available to assess for swallowing dysfunction.
To further explain the diagnostics available for swallowing impairment, I interviewed Juliana Harl, a Speech-Language Pathologist in practice who specializes in Parkinson's disease. She reviews various testing options and what she looks for in her assessments. She also provides recommendations that caregivers may use at home to help assess their loved one with Parkinson's disease to empower you to raise a concern regarding swallowing function to your loved one's health care provider.
Join us next week for the final episode on swallowing impairment when we discuss treatment options as well as nutritional support.
