The objective of the present study was to expand our knowledge of the relationship between speech movements, on the one hand, and speech-like and nonspeech oral motor behaviors, on the other, by using a rate paradigm. 130 patients with neurological movement disorders of different origins and 130 neurologically healthy subjects participated in the study.
