Parkinson's Disease
Parkinson's disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that affects the nervous system, particularly the brain's ability to control movement. It primarily results from the loss of dopamine-producing neurons in a region of the brain called the substantia nigra. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that helps coordinate smooth and controlled movements.
Stroke
(CVA)
A stroke occurs when blood flow to part of the brain is interrupted, leading to damage. This can affect the areas of the brain responsible for language, speech, and cognition, leading to various types of communication difficulties (ie; cognitive, linguistic, reading, writing, speaking). The impact depends on the location of the stroke (e.g., left hemisphere vs. right hemisphere of the brain).
Dysphagia
"Swallowing Impairment"
Dysphagia is the medical term for difficulty swallowing. It can occur when there are problems with the muscles or nerves involved in swallowing. Swallowing is a complex process that involves the mouth, throat (pharynx), and esophagus, and dysphagia can happen at any stage of this process.
