Research
Characterization of speech, communication and cognition along with outcomes
following intensive intervention in Parkinson’s disease
The doctoral project aims to study the treatment effects on speech, voice and
communication following an intensive group intervention (HiCommunication) as
well as transfer of treatment effects to everyday- life. It also aims to
describe the relationship between speech- and voice function, cognitive
status and results from structural and functional neuroimaging in people with
PD. From obtained data possible differences in responsiveness to treatment
are also investigated. Data is collected within a large randomised-controlled
trial. Acoustic and perceptual analysis of speech recordings, ambulatory
phonation monitoring and analysis of structural and functional neuroimaging
data are performed.-
The doctoral project is part of a collaboration between the Department of
Clinical Science, Intervention and Technology (CLINTEC) and the Department
of Neurobiology, Care Sciences and Society (NVS) at KI and integrated in an
ongoing larger study (BETA-PD) partially affiliated with Stockholms
Sjukhem.
