Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Zoë Thijs is an Assistant Professor at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville. Her research focuses on voice quality, speech acoustics, and motor disorders, particularly in the context of Parkinson's disease and childhood malocclusions. Thijs has investigated the impact of voice therapy on self-perceived handicap and acoustic voice quality, as well as the relationship between motor phenotypes and laryngeal symptoms in Parkinson's disease through systematic reviews. Her work also explores the effects of interventions, such as non-contact boxing, on respiratory pressure and phonation aerodynamics in individuals with Parkinson's disease. Additionally, she has examined oral myofunctional and articulation disorders in children with malocclusions. Thijs's publications have also addressed clinical practice patterns for speech-language pathologists in identifying dysphagia and the perception of affective, behavioral, and cognitive reactions associated with voice use in people with Parkinson's disease.
