Effect of Parkinson's disease on vocal tremor
نویسندگان
چکیده
Vocal tremor is encountered in different neurological diseases and could be used for their characterisation. In this paper, vocal tremor features have been extracted for speakers with Parkinson’s disease and control speakers. It is shown that Parkinson’s disease has significant effects on vocal tremor features. For speakers with Parkinson’s disease, the average vocal frequency is higher and the vocal tremor frequency is higher. This can be explained by higher vocal tremor components in the frequency band 8− 12Hz.

Quantification of Parkinson Tremor Intensity Based On EMG Signal Analysis Using Fast Orthogonal Search Algorithm
The tremor injury is one of the common symptoms of Parkinson's disease. The patients suffering from Parkinson's disease have difficulty in controlling their movements owing to tremor. The intensity of the disease can be determined through specifying the range of intensity values of involuntary tremor in Parkinson patients. The level of disease in patients is determined through an empirical rang...

Because the underlying physiology of pathological tremor in a Parkinson's patient is not well understood, the existing physical and drug therapies have not been successful in tremor treatment. Different mathematical modeling of such vibration has been introduced to investigate the problem and reduce the existing vibration. Most of the models have represented the induced vibration as a sinusoida...

UNLABELLED Parkinson's disease (PD) involves a progressive depletion of dopamine in the basal ganglia leading to motor alterations. Oral communication impairment occurs in 75% to 90% of patients and has been poorly studied. AIM to asses laryngeal electromyography (LEMG) patterns and correlate them to vocal analysis in patients with Parkinson's disease. MATERIALS AND METHODS This is a prospe...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the voice quality of patients with idiopathic Parkinson's disease, at the "on" and "off" moments of the disease. METHOD Five individuals with Parkinson's disease and five of the control group were assessed. All of them underwent the recording of voice and speech. The acoustic parameters analyzed were: fundamental frequency, jitter, shimmer, harmonic noise proportion and ...
متن کاملEffect of intensive voice therapy on vocal tremor for parkinson speakers
The effect of intensive voice therapy (Lee Silverman Voice Treatment, LSVT) on vocal tremor features of Parkinson speakers is presented. Vocal tremor is the low-frequency variation of the vocal frequency. Its features differ for Parkinson and normophonic speakers. Here, vocal tremor features have been estimated for a corpus of speakers with Parkinson’s disease, recorded before and after intensi...
