Abstract
Wearable sensors show promise for monitoring breathing and swallowing events in patients with dysphagia. However, little is known about factors that facilitate their use for swallowing rehabilitation, particularly in individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD). Examining these factors in patients with PD (PwPD) is critical given the prevalence of motor disorders in this population. The aims of this…
