Abstract
La fluidez verbal permite el acceso y evocación a conjuntos de información lingüística, la que sería útil para valorar los procesos ejecutivos y lingüísticos de las personas con enfermedad de Parkinson. Se utilizó un diseño de investigación secundario de tipo revisión narrativa, utilizando como base de datos primaria a PubMed. Además, se realiza un estudio teórico de carácter clásico haciendo uso diferentes motores de búsqueda, con el objetivo de caracterizar el rendimiento en las tareas de fluidez verbal en personas con Enfermedad de Parkinson mediante una revisión teórica. Como resultados, se reporta que las tareas de fluidez verbal en esta población podrían ser herramientas sensibles para conocer el rendimiento a nivel cognitivo, aportar al monitoreo y control de la enfermedad e incluso podría ser implementada como indicador de logro. De igual forma, potencialmente prevendría la detección del deterioro cognitivo leve. En conclusión, los hallazgos de este estudio resaltan la importancia de la evaluación de la fluidez verbal como herramienta clínica para la detección temprana de alteraciones cognitivas. El análisis detallado de la producción verbal permite identificar patrones específicos de deterioro que pueden orientar tanto la planificación de intervenciones en rehabilitación neuropsicológica como el seguimiento a largo plazo de la progresión de trastornos neurológicos. Por lo tanto, la implementación de pruebas de fluidez verbal en entornos de evaluación clínica contribuye de forma significativa a la prevención y manejo oportuno de diversas condiciones neuropsicológicas.
Verbal fluency allows access to and evocation of sets of linguistic information, which would be useful for assessing executive and linguistic processes in people with Parkinson's disease. A secondary research design of narrative review type was used, using PubMed as the primary database. In addition, a classical theoretical study was carried out using different search engines. The objective was to characterize performance in verbal fluency tasks in people with Parkinson's disease by means of a theoretical review. As results, verbal fluency tasks in this population could be sensitive tools for cognitive performance, contribute to the monitoring and control of the disease and could even be implemented as an indicator of achievement. It could also potentially prevent the detection of mild cognitive impairment. In conclusion, the findings of this study highlight the importance of verbal fluency assessment as a clinical tool for the early detection of cognitive impairment. Detailed analysis of verbal production allows the identification of specific patterns of impairment that can guide both the planning of neuropsychological rehabi- litation interventions and the long-term monitoring of the progression of neurological disorders. Therefore, the implementation of verbal fluency testing in clinical assessment settings contributes significantly to the prevention and timely management of various neuropsychological conditions.
