Article Synopsis
- Swallowing and cough impairments can lead to serious issues, particularly in patients with atypical Parkinsonism (APD), and understanding this connection could improve treatment strategies for airway protection.
- In a study of 11 participants with APD, it was found that many experienced swallowing difficulties, which correlated with decreased cough effectiveness, as indicated by abnormal scores on the Penetration-Aspiration Scale (PAS).
- The results suggest that as swallowing safety declines, the ability to clear airways through coughing also diminishes, especially in patients with longer disease durations, emphasizing the need for comprehensive assessment of both functions in treatment planning.

The COVID-19 pandemic compelled rapid healthcare adaptations including increased use of telehealth (TH) and virtual care (VC) to provide rehabilitation services. This multi-site cross-sectional survey study examined rehabilitation patients' and providers' experiences with service delivery during the COVID-19 pandemic, including the use of TH/VC. Patients and providers who received or provided rehabilitation services were recruited from 1 of 3 large, post-acute rehabilitation systems located in the Southeastern and Midwestern United States during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Commercially available active videogames (AVGs) are promising rehabilitation options, but lack of familiarity with game options may limit clinical integration. We evaluated content and format usability of the 'Kinect-ing' with Clinicians (KwiC) website, an online tool that characterizes commercially available games to support clinical decision-making about Kinect™ game use for rehabilitation. This study is a cross-sectional online survey of physical therapists (PTs).
