Translation, linguistic and cultural adaptation, reliability and validity of the Radboud Oral Motor Inventory for Parkinson's Disease – ROMP questionnaire

Abstract

The linguistic and cultural equivalence of the ROMP in Brazilian Portuguese is now available, with excellent reliability and validity.

Nutrition impact symptoms and the risk of malnutrition in people with Parkinson's disease: A cross‐sectional study

“…The questions regarding nutritional status and symptoms were made up of two previously validated questionnaires, abridged Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment (aPG-SGA) 18 and Radboud Oral Motor Inventory for Parkinson's disease (ROMP). 14 The aPG-SGA questionnaire gathers information about height, current weight, weight history, food intake, physical functioning and symptoms affecting food intake. Participants were also given an option of adding free text information if experiencing symptoms affecting food intake other than the ones mentioned in the questionnaire.…”

“…19 The questionnaire is regarded as a reliable and valid instrument for evaluating patient-perceived problems with speech, swallowing and saliva control in PD. 14,19 Only the ROMP-swallowing subscale, which has shown high reliability and validity, 14,20 was used in the present study. The subscale consists of seven questions with a five-point Likert scale response option (1 = normal, 5 = worst score).…”

“…Background information included gender, age, work situation, education level, type of PD‐diagnosis, disease duration and medication. The questions regarding nutritional status and symptoms were made up of two previously validated questionnaires, abridged Patient‐Generated Subjective Global Assessment (aPG‐SGA) 18 and Radboud Oral Motor Inventory for Parkinson's disease (ROMP) 14 . The aPG‐SGA questionnaire gathers information about height, current weight, weight history, food intake, physical functioning and symptoms affecting food intake.…”

“…13 Dysphagia is a common NIS in PD and a prevalence ranging from 35% to 100% is suggested, meaning that at least one third of PD patients experience dysphagia. 14 Despite being highly prevalent, changes in swallowing function may not initially exercise a decisive impact on food intake because of compensatory eating techniques; for example, sitting right or drinking while eating and adaptive mechanisms developing over time. Accordingly, one can stay at a manageable dietary intake and avoid remarkable weight loss for a relatively long time.…”

Validação de conteúdo e confiabilidade do Protocolo de Avaliação dos Distúrbios Adquiridos de Fala em Indivíduos com Doença de Parkinson (PADAF)

“…In several areas of health, the validation of evaluation instruments has been carried out for the purpose of obtaining more accurate and reliable results. Speech therapy can be used to construct better quality instruments (11)(12)(13) .…”
