Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Zoë Thijs's research centers on speech, voice, and swallowing disorders, with a particular focus on their impact on individuals with Parkinson's disease. Her work includes systematic reviews examining oral myofunctional and articulation disorders in children with malocclusions, as well as laryngeal symptoms and motor phenotypes in Parkinson's disease. Thijs also investigates clinical practice patterns for dysphagia screening and identification by speech-language pathologists. Her publications explore the relationship between self-perceived handicap, voice quality, and voice therapy outcomes, and the effects of non-contact boxing interventions on respiratory and phonation aerodynamics in individuals with Parkinson's disease. Further research considers the influence of genotype on self-reported dysarthria and dysphagia in Parkinson's disease, and partner perceptions of reactions associated with voice use in this population.
