neutral  Andrew Bramhall: "poor respiratory function" is fine, but don't think your suggested answer is very idiomatic.

reduced speech(impaired respiration) functional limitation


Explanation:
Alteración en la función respiratoria- estos pacientes presentan una respiración superficial y poco eficaz para una adecuada producción del habla. Esto es causado por la rigidez de la pared torácica, la bradicinesia, incoordinación de los movimientos respiratorios y la postura típica de flexión de tronco. Su respiración es poco funcional debido a que se produce una mala administración del aire, produciéndose escapes antes de hablar y situaciones de apnea durante la producción vocal.

1. Dysarthria(is a disorder of spoken communication due to central or peripheral nervous system damage that is associated with disturbance in muscular control for speech) and dysphagia occur frequently in Parkinson’s disease (PD). Reduced speech intelligibility is a significant functional limitation of dysarthria, and in the case of PD is likely related articulatory and phonatory impairment.

2. Reduced intelligibility is arguably the most significant functional limitation of dysarthria, but voice, speaking rate, and other prosodic abnormalities also may limit a person’s ability to communicate in a manner or range considered normal.
