Brief Summary
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.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Score on the Alouette test
The Alouette test is based on the precision and speed in reading a short text (279 words). The score corresponds to the total number of words correctly read.

Study Arms (2)
Patients with Parkinson's Disease
Patients with Parkinson's Disease (PD) were evaluated for reading disorders using a screening method validated for dyslexia.
Patients without Parkinson's Disease = control group
Patients without Parkinson's Disease (PD) were evaluated for reading disorders using a screening method validated for dyslexia.
Interventions
The alouette test was assessed at a fixed distance of 40 centimeters on a fixed surface to avoid errors related to hand tremors.
