Videо Cаses.  I hаve budgeted enоugh time fоr you аll to listen to each video two times through. However, feel free to skip around the video if you feel that you can answer the below motor speech evaluation fully. Highlight/bold your answers or directly write in your answers at the very end of this question. Make sure to put your severity numbers.  A 67 year-old female with a 3 year history of parkinsonism presents to your outpatient clinic for a routine evaluation of speech-language and swallowing function as part of her multi-disciplinary neurological visit. Regarding speech function, she notes significant changes over the last 2 years with an increased need to repeat herself to listeners; however, she denies any cognitive changes. In terms of swallowing function, she received an MBS 2 years ago which identified intermittent penetration above the level of the vocal folds and mild residue in the pyriform sinuses. She admits to coughing/choking everyday during meals; however, she denies pneumonia, pain, and weight loss. The patient also reports a history of reflux which she manages with daily oral medication. Motor Speech Evaluation: Perceptual speech evaluation is rated on a 0-7 point scale, with 0 indicating normal function and 7 indicating profound dysfunction. Please rate each subsystem and characteristic that you hear (6 points).
