1,5 -- Voice amplitude and vocal articulation is affected by the neuromuscular effects of Parkinson’s disease. The voice becomes very monotone with progression of the disease; patients will exhibit slowed speaking patterns and will have difficulty articulating clearly. Patients will need to be reminded to speak loudly. Muscular ability may make communication difficult, but the patient will retain cognitive ability, so communication should make sense.
