The Techniques Of Speech Therapy Management Of Voice And Speech Disorders In Parkinson’s Disease

Authors : Kaddour Ali .

Abstract

To date, there is no reliable and scientifically valid study providing evidence of the effectiveness or lack thereof of speech therapy in speech disorders of Parkinson disease (PD), due to sample sizes that are too small. However, starting from the 1980s, objective measures (acoustic and video) and results from self-assessment scales concluding the immediate and medium-term effectiveness (3 to 12 months) of rehabilitation have made it possible to determine principles of rehabilitation. Unfortunately in Algeria, a minority of speech therapists treat voice and speech disorders related to Parkinson's disease. Through a bibliographic research on the website of the Ministry of Health of the United States of America, we were able to identify the main methods currently adopted by speech therapists to manage voice and speech disorders in Parkinson's patients that we will present in detail in this study.
