Summary

This study aimed to translate and validate an Italian version of a tool that helps speech therapists assess swallowing difficulties (dysphagia) in people with neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson's or ALS. Researchers tested the tool on 101 adults with such conditions to ensure it is accurate and reliable. The goal is to provide Italian clinicians with a simple, effective way to evaluate and manage swallowing problems in this population.
