(Dys)Prosody in Parkinson’s disease: effects of medication and disease progress...
Frota, Sónia; Cruz, Marisa; Cardoso, Rita; Guimarães, Isabel; Ferreira, Joaquim; Pinto, Serge; Vigário, MarinaAbstract: The phonology of prosody has received little attention in studies of motor speech disorders. The present study investigates the phonology of intonation (nuclear contours) and speech chunking (prosodic phrasing) in Parkinson’s Disease (PD), as a function of medication intake and progression of the disease. Following methods of the prosodic and intonational phonology frameworks, we examined the ability ...

Frota, Sónia; Cruz, Marisa; Cardoso, Rita; Guimarães, Isabel; Ferreira, Joaquim J; Pinto, Serge; Vigario, MarinaThe phonology of prosody has received little attention in studies of motor speech disorders. The present study investigates the phonology of intonation (nuclear contours) and speech chunking (prosodic phrasing) in Parkinson’s disease (PD) as a function of medication intake and duration of the disease. Following methods of the prosodic and intonational phonology frameworks, we examined the ability of 30 PD patie...
Psychosocial impact of Parkinson’s disease-associated dysarthria: cross-cultura...
Cardoso, Rita; Guimarães, Isabel; Santos, Helena; Loureiro, Rita; Domingos, Josefa; Abreu, Daisy; Gonçalves, Nilza; Pinto, Serge; Ferreira, JoaquimAim: The present study sought to make a cross-cultural adaptation of the Dysarthria Impact Profile (DIP) for European Portuguese (EP) and validate it for use in Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients. Methods: The cross-cultural adaptation was carried out in accordance with the guidelines. The EP version of the DIP was administered to 80 people with PD, and 30 sex- and age-matched control participants. Psychometric ...
A cross-linguistic perspective to the study of dysarthria in Parkinson’s disease
Pinto, Serge; Chan, Angel; Guimarães, Isabel; Rothe-Neves, Rui; Sadat, JasminCross-linguistic studies aim at determining the similarities and differences in speech production by uncovering linguistic adaptations to specific constraints and environments. In the field of motor speech disorders, such a crosslanguage approach could be of great interest to understand not only the deficits of speech production that are induced by the pathology, but also the difficulties that are induced by th...
The psychometric properties of the Voice Handicap Index in people with Parkinso...
Guimães, Isabel; Cardoso, Rita; Pinto, Serge; Ferreira, JoaquimBackground. Psychosocial impact of dysphonia in people with Parkinson disease (PD) has been described with the Voice Handicap Index (VHI); however, its psychometric properties when applied in this population are not described. Objective. The objective of this study was to examine the psychometric properties of the VHI in people with PD. Methods. A cross-sectional study of 151 subjects without cognitive impairme...
Frenchay dysarthria assessment (FDA-2) in Parkinson’s disease: cross-cultural a...
Cardoso, Rita; Guimarães, Isabel; Santos, Helena; Loureiro, Rita; Domingos, Josefa; Abreu, Daisy; Gonçalves, Nilza; Pinto, Serge; Ferreira, JoaquimHypokinetic dysarthria is a common symptom in those with Parkinson’s disease (PD); there is currently no standardized or validated tool for assessing speech in this population. To translate into European Portuguese (EP) the FDA-2 and perform a cultural adaptation followed by an evaluation of its psychometric properties in PD in a sample of people with PD in different stages of disease progression. Translation, ...
Dysarthria in individuals with Parkinson’s disease: a protocol for a binational...
Pinto, Serge; Cardoso, Rita; Sadat, Jasmin; Guimarães, Isabel; Mercier, Céline; Santos, Helena; Atkinson-Clement, Cyril; Carvalho, Joana; Welby, PaulineIntroduction: Individuals with Parkinson’s disease (PD) have to deal with several aspects of voice and speech decline and thus alteration of communication ability during the course of the disease. Among these communication impairments, 3 major challenges include: (1) dysarthria, consisting of orofacial motor dysfunction and dysprosody, which is linked to the neurodegenerative processes; (2) effects of the pharm...
