Abstract

|
Objective : The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of swallowing function and swallowing-related quality of life when telerehabilitation is conducted for patients with Parkinson's disease with swallowing disorder.
Methods : In this study, telerehabilitation based on videoconferencing was conducted once for 30 minutes and twice a week for a total of 8 weeks for 10 people who were diagnosed with Parkinson's disease and had abnormal oropharyngeal function in a videofluoroscopy study. The SPSS 25.0 version program was used to confirm the swallowing function before and after intervention and the change in quality of life related to swallowing.
Results : There was a statistically significant difference in swallowing function and swallowing-related quality of life after intervention (p<0.05). However, among the sub-items of swallowing-related quality of life, there was no statistically significant difference in the items of eating desire, food selection, mental health, and social function.
Conclusion : There was a significant difference in swallowing function and improvement of swallowing-related quality of life during telerehabilitation in Parkinson's disease patients with swallowing disorders. Through this study, it is expected that telerehabilitation can be activated in patients with Parkinson's disease in the community to prevent swallowing disorders in patients.
