Motor aspects of speech imparment in parkinson ‘ s disease and their assessment

patients with parkinson’s disease (pd) often suffer from hypokinetic dysarthria (hd) involving impairment of phonation, articulation, prosody and speech fluency. our paper focuses on parameters used to evaluate motor aspects of speech and on methods of relevant data collection and analysis. an overview of specific parameters of hd and methods used for its evaluation may facilitate development of a diagnostic system for hd and of suitable measures for the assessment of its progression.
