LSVT LOUD Speech Therapy for Parkinson disease

This video clip is of a woman with Parkinson disease immediately before and after receiving LSVT LOUD speech therapy. LSVT LOUD is an effective speech treatment program with over 20 years of research. LSVT LOUD is delivered by speech clinicians who have been specially trained and certified in the LSVT LOUD program. LSVT LOUD is intensive (4 days/week for 4 weeks, one hour sessions) and focuses on training healthy vocal loudness and helping people with Parkinson disease relearn the sensory perception of normal vocal loudness.

does anyone know, if it's only for patients with Parkinson's or is it also used as treatment for patients with MSA???

[LSVTGLOBAL]

@soedkvinde The treatment has been used for individuals with MSA. We would recommend starting treatment as early as possible. The improvements may be more variable in individuals with MSA than Parkinson disease, but it certainly has potential to help. There is one published case study documenting immedate improvements in vocal loudness for an individual MSA.

Wonderful and almost unbelievable if I hadn't seen this for myself. Hoping my dad will receive this form of therapy. Thank-you for sharing!
