Arytenoid cartilage movements are hypokinetic in Parkinson's disease: A quantitative dynamic computerised tomographic study - PubMed

As predicted, vocal fold adduction movements are reduced in Parkinson's disease on repeated phonation but glottic area is maintained. Some perceptual characteristics of Parkinsonian speech reflect these changes. We are the first to use 320-slice CT to study laryngeal motion. Our findings indicate ho…
