Lead angle matters: Side effects of deep brain stimulation improved with adjustment of lead angle
Objective: A variety of technical considerations influence the outcome of Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS). We highlight a case where revising the angle of approach significantly…Clinico-genetic correlation in Indian spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA1) patients
Objective: To report the Clinico-genetic correlation in Spinocerebellar ataxia type 1 (SCA1) Patients in Indian Population. Background: Spinocerebellar ataxia type 1(SCA1) is a neurodegenerative disease…Speech prosody impairment predicts cognitive decline in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: We assessed whether baseline speech prosodic parameters, alone or in combination with other predominantly non-dopaminergic symptoms may predict global cognitive decline as measured by…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…
