Summary

This study looked at how people with Parkinson's disease who have trouble swallowing and their caregivers work together during meals. Researchers filmed 22 patient-caregiver pairs and interviewed them to understand the verbal and non-verbal strategies used to make eating safer and more enjoyable. The goal was simply to describe these strategies, not to test a treatment.
