OverviewAI-generated summary
Zoë Thijs investigates voice quality, speech acoustics, and swallowing disorders, with a particular focus on individuals with Parkinson's disease and children with cleft palate. Her research has examined the perceptual characterization of voice quality in nonadvanced stages of Parkinson's disease and has explored laryngeal symptoms related to motor phenotypes in Parkinson's disease through systematic review. Thijs has also studied the impact of professional careers on vocal quality in women and has investigated oral myofunctional and articulation disorders in children with malocclusions. Her work includes a systematic review on clinical practice patterns for screening and identifying dysphagia and has evaluated the relationship between self-perceived handicap and acoustic voice quality changes associated with voice therapy. Thijs's research also extends to outcome tools for perceptual speech evaluation in patients with cleft palate.
