Darling-White, Meghan; Anspach, Zeina; Huber, Jessica E. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2022
Purpose: A critical component to the development of any type of intervention to improve speech production in individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD) is a complete understanding of the speech impairments present at each stage of the disease and how these impairments change with disease progression. The purpose of this longitudinal study was to…

Richardson, Kelly; Huber, Jessica E.; Kiefer, Brianna; Kane, Caitlin; Snyder, Sandy – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2022
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the respiratory strategies used by persons with Parkinson's disease (PD) to support louder speech in response to two voice interventions. Contrasting interventions were selected to investigate the role of internal and external cue strategies on treatment outcomes. LSVT LOUD, which uses an internal…

Matheron, Deborah; Stathopoulos, Elaine T.; Huber, Jessica E.; Sussman, Joan E. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2017
Purpose: The present study compared laryngeal aerodynamic function of healthy older adults (HOA) to adults with Parkinson's disease (PD) while speaking at a comfortable and increased vocal intensity. Method: Laryngeal aerodynamic measures (subglottal pressure, peak-to-peak flow, minimum flow, and open quotient [OQ]) were compared between HOAs and…

McKenna, Victoria S.; Huber, Jessica E. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2019
Purpose: This study evaluated the accuracy of respiratory calibration methods for estimating lung volume during speech breathing. Method: Respiratory kinematic data were acquired via inductance plethysmography in 32 young adults, 22 older adults, and 13 older adults with Parkinson's disease (PD). Raw rib cage (RC) and abdomen (AB) signals (V) were…

Huber, Jessica E.; Darling, Meghan; Francis, Elaine J.; Zhang, Dabao – American Journal of Speech-Language Pathology, 2012
Purpose: The present study examines the impact of typical aging and Parkinson's disease (PD) on the relationship among breath pausing, syntax, and punctuation. Method: Thirty young adults, 25 typically aging older adults, and 15 individuals with PD participated. Fifteen participants were age- and sex-matched to the individuals with PD.…

Huber, Jessica E.; Darling, Meghan – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2011
Purpose: To examine the effects of cognitive-linguistic deficits and respiratory physiologic changes on respiratory support for speech in individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD) using two speech tasks: reading and extemporaneous speech. Method: Five women with PD, 9 men with PD, and 14 age- and sex-matched control participants read a passage and…

MacPherson, Megan K.; Huber, Jessica E.; Snow, David P. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2011
Purpose: This study examined the effect of Parkinson's disease (PD) on the intonational marking of final and nonfinal syntactic boundaries and investigated whether the effect of PD on intonation was sex specific. Method: Eight women and 8 men with PD and 16 age- and sex-matched control participants read a passage at comfortable pitch, rate, and…

Darling, Meghan; Huber, Jessica E. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2011
Purpose: Individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD) exhibit differences in displacement and velocity of the articulators as compared with older adults. The purpose of the current study was to examine effects of 3 loudness cues on articulatory movement patterns in individuals with PD. Method: Nine individuals diagnosed with idiopathic PD and 9 age-…
