Global Acoustic Speech Temporal Characteristics for Mandarin Speakers With Parkinson's Disease During Syllable Repetition and Passage Reading

CONCLUSIONS: Speech rates of Mandarin speakers with PD were characterized by faster articulation, longer pauses, and more perceptual pauses for passage reading. A descriptive model of speech rate suggested that speakers with PD and dysarthria in this study would benefit from rate reduction therapy decreasing articulation rate.SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL: https://doi.org/10.23641/asha.23982282.PMID:37625136 | DOI:10.1044/2023_AJSLP-23-00062
