Case Report: Benefits of LSVT LOUD in a multilingual patient with hypokinetic-hyperkinetic dysarthria and suspected progressive supranuclear palsy

Person doing the Lee Silverman Voice Treatment

Our lab has a newly published paper! Here is the link to the open access (meaning free) paper: https://www.frontiersin.org/.../fresc.2024.1421730/full

The paper is a treatment case study to see how well a multi-lingual patient with suspected Progressive Supranuclear Palsy responded to the Lee Silverman Voice Treatment (LSVT), a speech treatment originally designed to improve intelligibility and vocal loudness in Parkinson's Disease. There were some benefits for this patient, and in the paper, we weigh these benefits against the intensiveness of the treatment.

The other unique thing about this study is that the patient is a client in the CU Boulder Speech, Language & Hearing Clinic, and the treatment was completed by Clinical Assistant Professor and Director of the MA-SLP program, Holly Kleiber, and former MA-SLP graduate student (now speech-language pathologist) Mandy Sebestyen.
