Attention to action: Common to both conversion (psychogenic) and Parkinsonian (neurogenic) motor speech disorders
Objective: To review and present a common abnormality --- attention to action--- underlying Parkinsonian and conversion speech disorders. Background: Conversion speech disorders are characterized by…Comparative analysis of upper limb motor function and articulation disorder in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To assess the relationship between upper limb bradykinesia and hypokinetic dysarthria in Parkinson's disease (PD) using instrumental investigations of speech and limb motor function.…Self-perception of vocal handicap in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate self-perception of vocal handicap in individuals with Parkinson's disease at various stages of diagnosis. Background: The…The communicative effectiveness survey-revised (CESR): An objective measure of communicative participation for people with Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To study the item-level psychometric properties of the Communicative Effectiveness Survey-Revised (CESR), the first patient reported outcome measure for people with Parkinson's disease (PD)…Longitudinal changes of speech and voice disorders following subthalamic stimulation in Parkinson’s disease patients
Objective: To elucidate longitudinal changes of speech and voice disorders in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients treated with subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation (STN-DBS). Background: Previously,…A cross-linguistic approach to speech intelligibility in people with PD
Objective: The purpose is to compare acoustic models of speech intelligibility in individuals with the same disease (Parkinson's disease, PD) but with different native languages,…Speech 10 years post bilateral STN-DBS for Parkinson’s disease
Objective: This study reports on the type and severity of speech problems up to 10 years after bilateral deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic…Dopaminergic medication effect on speech in Parkinson’s disease: A kinematic study
Objective: To investigate the effect of levodopa on articulatory movement during Cantonese plosive production in individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD) by comparing kinematic parameters before…Articulography reveals disturbed speech motor control in ET patients treated with VIM-DBS
Objective: We investigate the effect of VIM-DBS on speech production in patients with ET. Background: Dysarthria is a common side effect of VIM-DBS. In recent…Voice harmonic amplitude differences before and after LSVT LOUDTM in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To evaluate voice harmonic amplitudes from acoustic spectra of speech produced by subjects with Parkinson's disease (PD) before and after voice treatment, in order…
