Summary

This study tests a wearable sensor that tracks neck muscle activity during swallowing exercises, providing real-time feedback to patients. Researchers want to see if adding this device to standard therapy improves swallowing more than therapy alone. The study includes 120 adults aged 50-90 who have had a stroke or have Parkinson's disease and trouble swallowing. Participants will do a 12-week swallowing program either in the clinic or at home via telehealth.
