Purpose: to characterize the frequency of occurrence and typology of disfluencies in individuals with PD verifying their relationship with the dysarthria and praxis verbal and nonverbal. Methods: This was a transversal observational study in which were analyzed 60 subjects, over 60 years, paired by their age and gender. The group was composed by 30 normal controls patients and 30 with PD. In order to evaluate the speech fluency, it was requested to the patients to narrate a story based on a picture description with seven pictures and was realized a transcript of 200 fluent syllables for verification of disfluencies and speech rate. So it was able to evaluate the speech praxis by the Boston Diagnosis of Aphasia, a dysarthria protocol. The patient’s performance was compared with the control group. Results: there was no difference between groups regarding gender, age and education. The PDG presented a greater number of total and atypical disfluencies in speech and worst praxis verbal and nonverbal compared to CG. All subjects with PD presented hypokinetic dysarthria. Typical and atypical disfluencies of speech were highly related to the dysarthria frame than to the praxis verbal and non-verbal ones. Conclusion: the atypical disfluencies are present in the speech of PD patients and they are more related to the dysarthria.
