  • Title: [Certain features of the speech of patients with parkinsonism].
    Author: Danilova DP.
    Journal: Zh Nevropatol Psikhiatr Im S S Korsakova; 1979; 79(12):1685-90. PubMed ID: 525117.
    Abstract:
    The speech of patients suffering from parkinsonism is usually described on the basis of merely clinical criteria. The author for the first time uses K. M. Steingart's polygraphic method for examining the speech in patients with various clinical forms of parkinsonism. As a result, regularities of the temporal characteristics of the speech were revealed, these regularities being a proof of the fact, that in patients with parkinsonism there are no pronounced disturbances of the higher integrative levels. Intense irradiation on the part of motor functions and changes of vegetative reaction confirm the important role of the functional state of the subcortical structures (of the limboreticular complex) in the pathogenesis of the speech disturbances characteristic of parkinsonism. The study has made it possible to ascertain a number of functional changes in the activity of the brain structures including the speech system.
