Abstract

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative process whose lesion falls on the substantia nigra. Within the classic symptoms we can find motor symptoms such as tremor at rest, rigidity, bradykinesia, hypokinesia or akinesia, which affect all motor processes including phonation. The purpose of this study was to describe the vocal and speech disorders present in patients with PD from a review of the available literature on the problem. In conclusion, the existing literature shows that there are voice and speech parameters evident to perception characteristic of the disease, such as hypophonia, tremor, dysprosody, decreased speed, and articulatory inaccuracies. However, regarding the acoustic analysis of the voice, the results are still contradictory in some parameters, which could be attributed to differences in the methodology used. Although acoustic analysis is seen as a powerful diagnostic tool even in podromic stages of the disease, further research is required in this regard
