متن کاملConsonant distortions in dysarthria due to parkinson's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and cerebellar ataxia
This paper addresses the presence and type of consonant distortions in speech of 79 French speakers with dysarthria due to Parkinson’s disease (PD), Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) and cerebellar ataxia (CA), and 26 control speakers.
