Abstract
A case of juvenile Parkinsonism with successful rehabilitation for speech articulation was reported here. A fifty-year old male was refered to our clinic because of his asthenic and unclear voice. His phonation was improved when he tried to compulsively control his dyskinetic movement of his lower limbs by hands. A rehabilitation programs including pushing exercise were designed and remarkable improvement in maximum phonation time was observed after this rehabilitation program. Discordination between phonation and respiration was considered to be the major cause of his hypokinetic dysarthria with asthenia.
