The frequency of speech and voice symptoms in 200 Parkinson patients was defined by 2 expert listeners from high-fidelity tape recordings of conversational speech samples and readings of the sentence version of the fisher-Logemann Test of Articulation Competence. Specific phonemes that were misarticulated were catalogued. Other vocal-tract dysfunctions, including laryngeal disorders, rate disorders and hypernasality, were also recorded. Co-occurrence of symptoms in each patient was tabulated. Examination of the patterns of co-occurring dysfunctions permitted classifying the 200 patients into 5 groups: group 1 (45% of the patients) with laryngeal dysfunction as their only vocal-tract symptom; group 2 (13.5% of the patients) with laryneal and back-tongue involvement; group 3 (17% of the patients) with laryngeal, back-tongue and tongue-blade dysfunction; group 4 (5.5% of the patients) with laryngeal dysfunction, back-tongue involvement, tongue-blade dysfunction and labial misarticulations; and group 5 (9% of the patients) with laryngeal dysfunction and misarticulations of the back tongue, tongue blade, lips and tongue tip. Disfluencies and hypernasality did not follow a systematic pattern of co-occurrence with other vocal-tract dysfunctions.
