Background: It has been suggested that sensory impairments contribute significantly to the motor deficits secondary to impaired sensorimotor integration in Parkinson's disease. Speech and swallowing are likely to become disordered in PD, and there is evidence that impaired upper airway sensation also contributes to these disorders.
Objectives: The goal of this study was to investigate the relationship between perception of general respiratory sensation, speech, and swallowing in PD.
