Acoustic Measures Capture Speech Dysfunction in Spinocerebellar Ataxia. [PDF]
Ann Clin Transl NeurolABSTRACT Objective Spinocerebellar ataxias (SCA) are hereditary cerebellar degenerative disorders with a common feature of dysarthria, involving impaired phonatory and articulatory control of speech, thereby affecting social communication. In this study, we investigated whether acoustic measures could objectively measure speech dysfunction and identify
