Sapir and his colleagues tested the utility of the acoustic analysis method.
The results showed that the analysis system was sensitive to changes that occurred in those patients who had undergone therapy for speech.
The researchers indicated that the method not only enables early diagnosis of PD but also makes it possible to track changes in Parkinson Disease patients that may occur in response to treatment or as the disease progresses.
The results have been published in the Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research.
