To characterize the speech fluency profile of patients with Parkinson's disease.
Study participants were 40 individuals of both genders aged 40 to 80 years divided into 2 groups: Research Group - RG (20 individuals with diagnosis of Parkinson's disease) and Control Group - CG (20 individuals with no communication or neurological disorders). For all of the participants, three speech samples involving different tasks were collected: monologue, individual reading, and automatic speech.
The RG presented a significant larger number of speech disruptions, both stuttering-like and typical dysfluencies, and higher percentage of speech discontinuity in the monologue and individual reading tasks compared with the CG. Both groups presented reduced number of speech disruptions (stuttering-like and typical dysfluencies) in the automatic speech task; the groups presented similar performance in this task. Regarding speech rate, individuals in the RG presented lower number of words and syllables per minute compared with those in the CG in all speech tasks.
Participants of the RG presented altered parameters of speech fluency compared with those of the CG; however, this change in fluency cannot be considered a stuttering disorder.
描述帕金森病患者的言语流畅性特征。
研究参与者为40名年龄在40至80岁之间的男女个体，分为两组：研究组 - RG（20名被诊断为帕金森病的个体）和对照组 - CG（20名无沟通或神经系统疾病的个体）。对所有参与者，收集了涉及不同任务的三个言语样本：独白、个人朗读和自动言语。
与CG相比，RG在独白和个人朗读任务中出现的言语中断（包括口吃样和典型的言语不流畅）数量显著更多，言语间断的百分比更高。两组在自动言语任务中出现的言语中断（口吃样和典型的言语不流畅）数量均减少；两组在该任务中的表现相似。关于言语速率，在所有言语任务中，RG中的个体每分钟的单词和音节数量均低于CG中的个体。
与CG相比，RG的参与者言语流畅性参数发生了改变；然而，这种流畅性的变化不能被认为是口吃障碍。
