Q

Dysarthria definition

A

A motor speech disorder related to disturbances in the central and peripheral nervous systems that control the muscles of speech production (weakness of muscles used in speech)

17
Q

Flaccid Dysarthria

A

Muscles that exhibit flaccid paralysis are weak and soft, exhibit low tone, and fatigue quickly. Lesions are found on the cranial and spinal nerves ; reduced respiratory drive for speech breathing, continuously breathy voice quality, reduced pitch and loudness levels, monopitch, hypernasality, and imprecise articulations

18
Q

Spastic Dysarthria

A

speech that is characterized as slow, with jerky, imprecise articulation and reduction of the rapidly alternating movements of speech (AMS) because of stiff and rigid muscles.

19
Q

Ataxic Dysarthria

A

Damage to the cerebellum or cerebellar control circuitry results in incoordination and reduced muscle tone, related to poorly timed and improper coordination during movement.

20
Q

Hypokinetic Dysarthria

A

movements are slow and reduced in range of motion due to the effects of rigidity, or increased resistance to passive stretch in all directions.

21
Q

Hyperkinetic Dysarthria

A

due to damage to the basal ganglia control circuitry; however, in this case, the indirect pathway and/or structures of the basal ganglia that help to inhibit unwanted movements are damaged which leads increased abnormal involuntary movements. Tremors, Tics, Dystonia, and Chorea

22
Q

Mixed Dysarthria

A

When two or more types of dysarthria are present in an individual. a slow rate of speech, hypernasality, imprecise articulation and a strained – strangled vocal quality.

23
Q

Tremor

A

relate to the rhythmic movement of body part

24
Q

Tics

A

are rapid patterned movements that can be motor or vocal in nature

25
Dystonia
excessive pitch and loudness variations, irregular breakdowns in articulation, variable rates of speech, and inappropriate silences. state of abnormal muscle tone resulting in muscular spasm and abnormal posture, typically due to a neurological disease (can be caused by medication)
26
Chorea
rapid and unpredictable movements and exhibit variations in their speech rate, irregular articulatory breakdowns and significant prosodic abnormalities.
27
What Dysarthria is associated with ALS
mixed dysarthria is associated with this
28
What Dysarthria is associated with Parkinson's
Hypokinetic dysarthria is associated with this
29
When can Dysarthria be acquired
any age
30
How to treat Dysarthria to improve quality of life
provide patient and communication partners with various strategies to promote increased communicative participation
31
Spastic CP
CP characterized by increased muscle tone resulting in slow, jerky, labored movements.
32
Athetoid CP
CP characterized by slow, involuntary writhing, most pronounced when the individual attempts volitional movement
33
Ataxic CP
CP characterized by uncoordinated movement and disturbed balance.
34
Bell's Palsy
relatively common dysarthria, occurs suddenly, cause unknow, facial nerve affected, appearance can shift
35
Progressive Bulbar Palsy
variant of ALS, causes degeneration of the lower motor neurons, muscle atrophy (wasting away muscle), individuals can develop fasciculations (movements of tongue while at rest)
36
Mysathenia Gravis
autoimmune disease, rapid weakening of muscles due to inadequate transmission of nerve impulses, muscles are weakened but can regain strength after rest, hypernasality
37
Muscular Dystrophy
genetic disease, results in degeneration of muscles, muscles are unable to contract and relax normally
