The application of linear and nonlinear estimators of acoustic variability in the assessment of speech motor control in hypokinetic dysarthria
… on the estimators' ability to differentiate hypokinetic dysarthria from unimpaired speech, as well as speech of young adults from older adults. In addition, the variability results of hypokinetic dysarthric speakers were compared with the results of standard diagnostic …

How individuals with Parkinson's disease modify their speech in a repetition for clarification
<p>The speech of individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD) is typically characterized as lacking in proper prosody because of its monopitch and monoloud quality, in addition to its reduced intensity. These qualities make it difficult for others to understand speakers with PD. The purpose of the …
