Sentence comprehension and praxis deficits in Parkinson's disease
Abstract
We evaluated the ability of nondemented patients with idiopathic Parkinson's disease (PD) to interpret various aspects of sentences and to perform learned limb and oral gestures. The patients were significantly compromised in their ability to answer simple questions about sentences such as "The eagle chased the hawk that was fast. Which bird was chased?" A discriminant analysis revealed that up to 73% of PD patients differ from control subjects in their ability to perform this task. Patients with PD were also significantly compromised in their gestural performance, and a discriminant analysis indicated that a praxis deficit may be evident in up to 64% of patients. We conclude that language and gestural processing impairments are frequent in patients with PD.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
