About

Reading disorders in Parkinson's Disease (PD) are poorly evaluated due to the lack of validated tests to screen for them. They are often attributed to hand tremors associated with the disease. In this study, the investigating team evaluated the "alouette test" validated for dyslexia screening, in PD by comparing the results to healthy patients.
