Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Zoë Thijs investigates voice disorders and motor impairments, with a particular focus on individuals with Parkinson's disease. Her research includes systematic reviews examining laryngeal symptoms associated with Parkinson's motor phenotypes and clinical practice patterns for dysphagia screening. Thijs has also explored the impact of voice therapy on acoustic voice quality and self-perceived handicap, as well as the effects of non-contact boxing interventions on respiratory pressure and phonation aerodynamics in Parkinson's patients. Her work also addresses self-perceived and partner perceptions of affective, behavioral, and cognitive reactions related to voice use in individuals with Parkinson's disease. Additionally, she has studied oral myofunctional and articulation disorders in children with malocclusions.
