Communication and swallowing disorders are highly prevalent in people with Parkinson's disease (PD). The negative impact of these disorders on the quality of life of the person with PD and their families cannot be underestimated. Despite a demand for speech-language pathology services to support people with PD, many barriers to services exist. Telerehabilitation provides an alternate and complementary approach to in-person therapy that is patient-centered, enables timely assessment and intervention, and facilitates continuity of care throughout the course of the disease. This review explores the telerehabilitation applications designed for the management of the communication and swallowing disorders in PD, addresses the benefits and challenges of telerehabilitation, identifies future research directions, and highlights the potential of new technologies to enhance the management of communication and swallowing disorders and quality of life for people with PD.
沟通和吞咽障碍在帕金森病(PD)患者中非常普遍。这些障碍对 PD 患者及其家属的生活质量的负面影响不可低估。尽管人们需要言语-语言病理学服务来支持 PD 患者,但仍存在许多服务障碍。远程康复为以患者为中心、能够及时进行评估和干预以及在疾病过程中提供持续护理的亲自治疗提供了替代和补充方法。这篇综述探讨了专为 PD 患者的沟通和吞咽障碍管理设计的远程康复应用,讨论了远程康复的益处和挑战,确定了未来的研究方向,并强调了新技术在改善沟通和吞咽障碍管理以及 PD 患者生活质量方面的潜力。
