[Dysphagia] Swallowing Problems of People WithParkinson's Di sease May Improve With Exercise

[browna1 at pccchealth.org (Brown, Audrey)]

I too am having difficulty making the connection.  Does blowing have any
effect on the hyoid?  How about the vocal fold abduction needed - wouldn't
this put them at more risk?  Perhaps recruitment of muscles involved in
pinching the lips together and blowing out the cheeks work on the
circum-oral muscles.  I would like to see what their objective measures
were.   I recently attended the LSVT certification course, and was excited
to see the preliminary evidence for that mode of therapy on swallowing
function.  I remain curious.  Anyone else?

Thanks for sharing. I am trying to understand the physiological rationale
behind this. Other than improved respiratory support, I can't make a
connection. Any ideas?
