Abstract

The aim of the study is to substantiate theoretically and prove practically the necessity of correctional and pedagogical work on overcoming speech and voice disorders in persons with Parkinson’s disease in an inpatient setting using translingual neurostimulation. The paper experimentally confirmed deficits affecting the rehabilitation potential of examinees with hypokinetic dysarthria. Scientific novelty of the study lies in developing a fundamentally new empirically tested methodology of speech rehabilitation of persons with a neurodegenerative disease using translingual stimulation. As a result, the effectiveness of speech therapy combined with translingual neurostimulation among persons with Parkinson’s disease and hypokinetic dysarthria for normalisation of speech pace and rhythm at a natural level, stimulation of switching from one articulating structure to another, as well as for stabilisation of articulation posture has been proved. In addition, the researcher has noted a positive impact of the developed methodology of speech rehabilitation not only on patients’ speech intelligibility and voice strength but also on their swallowing difficulties.
