Objectives: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the voice handicaps of the idiopathic Parkinson¡¯s Diseases (PD) and their voice-related quality of life.
Methods: Voice handicap index-10 (VHI-10) and Voice related Quality of Life were completed by 17 idiopathic PD patients, and Unified Parkinson¡¯s Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) part I, II, III were assessed. The relations between VHI-10, VRQOL and UPDRS scores were analysed.
Results: VHI-10 score of PD patients was $14.35{\pm}8.07$ ¼ö½Ä À̹ÌÁö and VRQOL total score of PD patients was $59.12{\pm}20.25$ ¼ö½Ä À̹ÌÁö, social-emotional $59.93{\pm}20.50$ ¼ö½Ä À̹ÌÁö, physical function $58.58{\pm}21.77$ ¼ö½Ä À̹ÌÁö. There were significant relations between VHI-10, VRQOL score and UPDRS II (activities of daily living).
Conclusions: These results suggest that voice impairments affect the daily living of PD patients and their quality of lives.
