What were the responses to your talking points? Were specific questions or concerns raised? : |
Our study was unique and interesting because of the first study of speech prosody of Farsi speaking patients after DBS surgery. The chairman of my presentation session" Dr. Martinez" asked me about my work and speech prosody of patients and the best way for assessment. He was convinced that speech pathologist need for better and comprehensive evaluation of speech and language disorders in Parkinson and motor disabilities are different and apart from speech performance. |

It was a very interesting experience for me. I saw many authors and famous professors of movement disorders that everyone have many articles and books about motor disorders. Their presentations and studies were very comprehensive. They reported their patients by detailed assessment and used many kind of evaluation tasks and tools such as FMRI, PETSCAN. Genetic, electrophysiological and cognitive evaluations used in their studies. Speech and language disorders of patients with Parkinson’s disease and other motor/ movement disorders are very interesting for them and few studies done in these field |
