Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Alexandra Brandimore"
- Alexandra Brandimore's research primarily focuses on the interplay between cough mechanics, swallowing, and airway protection in individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD) and healthy adults, aiming to understand the implications of sensory and motor control on respiratory functions.
- Her studies reveal significant variability in voluntary cough performance across different age groups and in individuals with PD, highlighting potential challenges in airway protection that may lead to increased risk of pneumonia.
- Brandimore's findings suggest that both reflex and voluntary cough mechanisms are impacted by PD, indicating the need for tailored rehabilitation strategies to improve airway protective outcomes and overall respiratory health in affected patients.
