Abstract

Introduction: The aim of the present study was to provide normative data in Greek, regarding sequential motion rate (SMR) and oral reading rate (ORR), and to show the sensitivity of both tasks to predict Parkinson's disease (PD).

Methods: The speech rate of sixty-five healthy control participants was recorded and analyzed using speech acoustics. The speech rate of a subsample of 20 healthy control participants was compared to the speech rate of 20 pair-matched dysarthric parkinsonian participants. All participants produced the syllables /pataka/ (SMR task) as quickly as possible and read aloud a standard Greek passage (ORR task).

Results: In normative data, the mean score for the SMR variable was 4.91 syllables per second (SD = 0.73) and for the ORR variable was 4.42 syllables per second (SD = 0.87). The Mann-Whitney test showed significant differences between the two groups of participants in the SMR (U = 64.000, Z = -4.60, p < .001) and ORR (U = 77.000, Z = -4.36, p < .001). Multiple binary logistic regression analysis examined the combined effect of ORR and SMR on the occurrence of the disease. The sensitivity of both tasks to predict PD was found to be 0.88 and the specificity 0.90. The optimal screening cutoff point was found to be 4.66 syllables/second for the SMR task and 2.79 syllables/second for the ORR task.

Conclusions: This study provided Greek normative data in SMR and ORR tasks. Both tasks showed high sensitivity and specificity to predict PD in the Greek sample of participants.

顺序运动速率和口头阅读速率:希腊语和临床意义的规范数据。

本研究的目的是提供希腊语中关于顺序运动速率(SMR)和口头阅读速率(ORR)的规范性数据，并显示这两项任务对预测帕金森病(PD)的敏感性。方法:对65名健康对照者的语速进行记录和语音声学分析。将20名健康对照参与者的子样本与20名配对的帕金森障碍参与者的言语速度进行比较。所有参与者都尽可能快地写出音节/pataka/ (SMR任务)，并大声朗读一段标准的希腊文(ORR任务)。结果:在规范资料中，SMR变量的平均得分为4.91个音节/秒(SD = 0.73)， ORR变量的平均得分为4.42个音节/秒(SD = 0.87)。Mann-Whitney检验显示两组被试在SMR任务上存在显著差异(U = 64.000, Z = -4.60, p U = 77.000, Z = -4.36, p)。结论:本研究提供了SMR和ORR任务的希腊规范数据。这两项任务在预测希腊样本参与者的PD方面都显示出很高的敏感性和特异性。

期刊介绍： Logopedics Phoniatrics Vocology is an amalgamation of the former journals Scandinavian Journal of Logopedics & Phoniatrics and VOICE. The intention is to cover topics related to speech, language and voice pathology as well as normal voice function in its different aspects. The Journal covers a wide range of topics, including: Phonation and laryngeal physiology Speech and language development Voice disorders Clinical measurements of speech, language and voice Professional voice including singing Bilingualism Cleft lip and palate Dyslexia Fluency disorders Neurolinguistics and psycholinguistics Aphasia Motor speech disorders Voice rehabilitation of laryngectomees Augmentative and alternative communication Acoustics Dysphagia Publications may have the form of original articles, i.e. theoretical or methodological studies or empirical reports, of reviews of books and dissertations, as well as of short reports, of minor or ongoing studies or short notes, commenting on earlier published material. Submitted papers will be evaluated by referees with relevant expertise.
