Abstract

Between non-motor symptoms of Parkinson's' disease (PD), anxiety represents an important prevalence in patients with the disease. Though there is no knowledge of its real etiology, it has been observed, clinically and empirically, some correspondence between anxiety symptoms and the typical motor symptoms of PD. This research project aims to validate the simulation test of public speech in patients with PD. Also, there will be analyzed the correlations between the scale of evaluation (VAMS) applied during the test, the motor symptoms evaluated by bradykinesia tests, and physiological measures (blood pressure and heart rate).(AU)
