| Sumario: | The objective of this study was to correlate the degree of severity of Parkinson's disease with self-perceived vocal difficulties. A cross-sectional, descriptive, observational study was conducted. The sample consisted of 42 subjects with Parkinson's disease. The instruments used were the Hoehn-Yahr scale and the motor aspects subscale of the modified Unified Parkinson's Disease Assessment Questionnaire to measure disease severity. Self-perceived vocal difficulties were obtained from the Vocal Handicap Index. The results showed a positive association between the variables stage of disease progression and motor impairment, with respect to the variable self-perceived vocal disability. It was observed that the greater the motor impairment and the stage of disease progression, the greater the subjects' self-perceived vocal disability. |
