 | | Subject: Does Parkinson's Cause Stuttering in ASL Usrs? Sun Mar 31, 2024 12:42 pm | |
| Started as a joke, but quickly turned into a "yes" answer. Not only ASL users either. - Quote :
- Participants with Parkinson's disease presented with twice as many stuttered disfluencies during conversation (2.2% ± 1.8%SD) compared to control participants (1.2% ± 1.2%SD; P < 0.01). 21% of people with Parkinson's disease (n = 20/94) met the diagnostic criterion for stuttering, compared with 1/25 controls.
Though, sorry, 2.2 + or minus 1.8 means 0.4 is within range and 1.2 + or - 1.2 is even worse science.
