Brief Summary: Dysphagia or difficulty swallowing is a common symptom of many neurological diseases but its treatment is not well established or easily accessible

To start addressing this gap the researchers developed and validated a cost-effective wearable surface electromyography sEMG biofeedback sensor technology i-Phagia optimized to record muscle activity from the headneck and provide biofeedback to patients and adherence data to clinicians during swallow therapy This system has been developed with commercially available and widely used materials and the Purdue University IRB has determined that the device is non-significant risk device

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if this biofeedback using this new technologyi-Phagia when used as an adjunct to a standard swallow therapy protocol works to improve swallowing function in patients post chronic stroke or diagnosed with Parkinsons disease It will also help the investigators learn whether this therapy protocol is equally effective when provided in-person versus via telehealth Finally it will determine which patient factors may influence how well the treatment works

The main questions it aims to answer are

Does biofeedback using this new technologyi-Phagia when used as an adjunct to a standard swallow therapy protocol works better than a standard of care treatment to improve swallowing function in patients post chronic stroke or diagnosed with Parkinsons disease
Is completing the swallow therapy protocol at home via telehealth as effective as completing it in-person in the clinic
What factors related to the patients eg age diagnosis etc may influence how well the treatment works

Participants will

Complete a 12-week swallow treatment protocol 12 treatment visits either in-person or at home via telehealth
Complete 3 in-person evaluations pre-treatment post-treatment and at a 12-week post treatment follow-up time point
Exercise at home several days per week and keep a diarylog of their home exercise

The hypothesis is that upon study completion the efficacy of sEMG biofeedback-facilitated swallow therapy for both in-person and telehealth service delivery in two neurogenic dysphagia populations will have been established and variables determining response to treatment will begin to be identified
