Brief summary

This study will examine speech intelligibility of early parkinson's disease (PD) patients, early PD patients and first degree relatives. The investigators hypothesis that advanced PD patients will present decreased speech intelligibility more than early PD patients. Speech intelligibility of first degree relatives will be normal.

Detailed description

in order to achieve the study's goals objective and subjective research tools will be used. Objective tools include measuring phonation time, diadokokinetic movements of the oral structures and acoustic analysis . Subjective tools include self reported questionnaires.

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame	Description
Maximum phonation time	DAY 1	maximum phonation time will be measured after taking few measurements of sentence reading.It is an observational study that aim to collect data during DAY 1 only! day 1 for outcome measure time frames There are not pre/post measurements

Secondary

Measure	Time frame	Description
Diadokokinetik (DDK): production time of 10x PATAKA, 7x /P/ and 7x /t/	DAY 1	production time of 10x PATAKA, 7x /P/ and 7x /t/ will be measured during the examination. It is an observational study that aim to collect data during DAY 1 only! DAY 1 for outcome measure time frames There are not pre/post measurements
