“…The telerehabilitation session for each patient followed the same procedure detailed previously by Sharma et al (2011) and as described in detail in Ward et al (2012). In brief, this involved a clinical swallowing examination that was led by an online clinician who assessed the patient in real time during the videoconference.…”

To gain insight into factors which may influence future acceptance of dysphagia management via telerehabilitation, patients' perceptions were examined before and after a telerehabilitation assessment session. Forty adult patients with dysphagia (M = 66y, SD = 16.25) completed pre-and post-session questionnaires which consisted of 14 matched questions worded to suit pre-and post-conditions.Questions explored comfort with the use of telerehabilitation, satisfaction with audio and video quality, benefits of telerehabilitation assessments and patients' preferred assessment modality. Questions were rated on a 5-point scale (1=strongly disagree, 3=unsure, 5=strongly agree). Patients' comfort with assessment via telerehabilitation was high in over 80% of the group both pre-and post-assessment. Pre-assessment, patients were unsure what to expect with the auditory and visual aspects of the videoconference, however there were significant positive changes reported postexperience. In relation to perceived benefits of telerehabilitation services in general, most patients believed in the value of telerehabilitation and post-assessment this increased to 90-100% agreement. Although 92% felt they would be comfortable receiving services via telerehabilitation, 45% of patients indicated ultimate preference for a traditional face-to-face assessment. The data highlight that patients are interested in and willing to receive services via telerehabilitation, however, any concerns should be addressed pre-assessment.

“…They are associated with increased morbidity and mortality, and may lead to a variety of clinical complications, including dehydration, malnutrition, and aspiration pneumonia (6)(7)(8)(9) . Thus, an early assessment of dysphagia by a speech therapist is essential to prevent future medical complications and should have a high priority in health-care practices (10) . Some hospitals have instruments such as screenings for early detection of adult dysphagic patients, and refer them for speech evaluation (11,12) .…”

Purpose: To perform a systematic review of screening instruments for dysphagia available in the literature. Methods:For the selection of studies, the following descriptors were used: "questionários", "questionnaires", "transtornos de deglutição", "deglutition disorders", "programas de rastreamento", and "mass screening".The online databases used for the research were Virtual Health Library (LILACS, IBECS, MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, SciELO) and PubMed. The research was performed from April to June 2013. Selection criteria articles in English, Portuguese, and Spanish, regardless of the year of publication, whose title, abstract, or text had any relation to the purpose of the research. After reading the articles in their entirety, identification data and method of the articles were extracted for later analysis. Results: The research carried out from the proposed descriptors produced 1,012 articles. After reviewing the titles, summaries, and fully reading the articles, 20 studies were chosen. The publications on instruments for the identification of dysphagic patients started in 1999, and 50% of the analyzed studies were carried out in the USA. The methods used on the instruments were questionnaires, observation of patient's clinical signals and symptoms, the request for execution of some orofacial movements, and swallowing test with water or food. Conclusion: Screening instruments in dysphagia are fairly heterogeneous and have been developed for different audiences with the main objective of identifying patients with swallowing disorders. RESUMOObjetivo: Realizar a revisão sistemática dos instrumentos de rastreio em disfagia disponíveis na literatura. Estratégia de pesquisa:Para a seleção dos estudos, foram utilizados os seguintes descritores: "questionários", "questionnaires", "transtornos de deglutição", "deglutition disorders", "programas de rastreamento" e "mass screening" e foram utilizadas as bases de dados: Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (LILACS, IBECS, MEDLINE, Biblioteca Cochrane, SciELO) e PubMed. A busca foi realizada no período entre abril e junho de 2013. Critérios de seleção:Foram selecionados artigos em Inglês, Português e Espanhol, independentemente do ano de publicação, que possuíam no título, resumo ou corpo do artigo relação com o objetivo da pesquisa. Análise dos dados: Após a leitura dos artigos na íntegra, foram extraídos dados de identificação e métodos dos artigos para posterior análise. Resultados: A pesquisa realizada a partir dos descritores propostos, nas bases de dados utilizadas, gerou o total de 1.012 artigos. Após a análise dos títulos, resumos e leitura dos artigos na íntegra, foram selecionados 20 estudos. As publicações sobre instrumentos para identificação de pacientes disfágicos iniciaram em 1999 e 50% dos artigos analisados foram desenvolvidos nos Estados Unidos. Os métodos empregados nos instrumentos foram: questionários, a observação de sinais e sintomas clínicos do paciente, a solicitação da execução de alguns movimentos orofaciais, teste de deglutição com água ou alime...

“…The literature is clear in relation to the necessity of specifying a risk identification protocol to dysphagia in PD 14,[24][25][26] . The SDQ-DP provides an instrument to identify risks to dysphagia, facilitating the specialized intervention process of symptoms precocious diagnosis.…”

RESUMO Objetivo: traduzir e adaptar culturalmente para o português brasileiro o Swallowing disturbance questionnaire (SDQ) para detecção de risco de disfagia em indivíduos com Doença de Parkinson (DP). Métodos: realizou-se tradução para o português, retradução para o inglês, análise de confiabilidade do instrumento, sendo a versão final aplicada aos participantes e realizado o reteste após duas semanas. Selecionou-se os participantes em um ambulatório de distúrbios do movimento de um hospital de referência no Rio Grande do Sul. Incluiu-se indivíduos com diagnóstico de DP. Excluiu-se indivíduos com alteração de linguagem ou audição que impossibilitasse a compreensão do questionário e com diagnóstico de outras doenças neurológicas. Resultados: a amostra foi composta por 23 indivíduos. Os participantes responderam a todas as questões. Não houve eliminação de nenhuma questão. Na análise da confiabilidade teste-reteste o coeficiente de correlação intraclasse do escore final nos dois momentos foi de 0,912 com p<0,001 (95%IC=0,792-0,963), demonstrando que os dados são altamente homogêneos. Na análise por questão, não houve diferença significante entre os dois momentos de aplicação. O valor de α de Cronbach do instrumento foi de 0,63. Conclusão: houve equivalência cultural do SDQ para o português brasileiro, com boa confiabilidade interna do instrumento.
