Additional Study Information: Difficulty swallowing is often a symptom associated with Parkinson's Disease. We are assessing how effective ultrasound is at measuring swallowing muscle strength. Participation will take approximately 15 minutes of your time. We will measure the size of the muscles needed for swallowing using ultrasound and measure the strength of these muscles with two different strength based tasks. To participate you must have a diagnosis of Parkinson's Disease.
