A

oral apraxia

40
Q

What are the etiologies of dysarthria?

trauma to the brain (e.g., skull fracture or neck injury), nonprogressive neurological conditions (e.g., stroke, TBI), progressive neurological conditions (e.g., ALS, MS), penetrating injury, toxins

41
Q

What parts of the brain are damaged in apraxia of speech?

A

insula, pathways connecting the parietal lobe to the frontal lobe, lateral prefrontal cortex, and internal capsule

42
Q

What is a prosthetic device for people with ataxic dysarthria?

A

neck brace or cervical collar since people with ataxic dysarthria may have head tremors so the neck brace will stabilize their head

43
Q

What is a common etiology of Apraxia of speech?

A

vascular lesions

44
Q

What is the most effective treatment for Apraxia of Speech?

A

behavioral treatment where speech movements are prioritized as well as speech rate. A pacing board or a metronome can be used to help slow down speech rate

45
Q

What is sound production treatment?

A

a treatment used with people with apraxia of speech that focuses on minimal contrast between words (e.g., shock and sock)

46
Q

When treating dysarthria, to modify respiration, an SLP should

A

use instrumentation (e.g., air pressure manometer) to help them build subglottal air pressure; help them prolong vowels; teach them how to control their breathing; change their postures; change how their breathing habits; shape production of longer phrases and sentences

47
Q

When treating dysarthria, to modify phonation, an SLP should use

A

biofeedback to shape the desired loudness of one’s voice; train the client to use portable amplification systems; tell aphonic clients to use an artificial larynx or other techniques

48
Q

When treating dysathria, to modify resonance, an SLP should use

A

a nose clip or a nasal obdurator (to reduce the flow of air when you speak; making it sound less hypernasal); a nasometer or a nasoendoscope to measure airflow through the nose; teach them to open their mouth wide to increase oral resonance and vocal intensity

49
Q

When treating dysarthria, to modify articulation, an SLP should

A

teach the client how to achieve their best posture; use a bite block to position jaw; use phonetic placement cues; slower rate and minimal contrast pairs; teaching self-monitoring and compensatory strategies/skills

50
Q

When treating dysarthria to modify speech rate, an SLP should

A

use delayed auditory feedback, pacing board, metronomie, hand tapping

51
Q

When treating dysarthria to modify prosody, an SLP should

A

teach appropriate intonation and reduce speech rate

52
Q

When treating dysarthria to modify pitch, an SLP should

A

use modeling and differential feedback

53
Q

When treating dysarthria to modify vocal intensity, an SLP should

A

modeling; increased laryngeal adduction; wider mouth opening; differentially reinforcing greater inhalation

54
Q

What are the causes of dysarthria?

A

trauma; toxic-metabolic causes (e.g., exposure to drugs); infectious disease (e.g., TB or AIDS); nonprogressive neurological damage (e.g., stroke, TBI); degenerative disease (PD or HD)

55
Q

Which dysarthria types do not affect respiration?

A

mixed dysarthria and unilateral upper motor neuron

56
Q

What is the neuromotor basis for unilateral upper motor neuron dysarthria?

A

weakness and spasticity caused by a a stroke, multiple sclerosis, or neurosurgical trauma

57
Q

What are the neuromotor bases for mixed dysarthria?

A

flaccid-spastic and ataxic spastic caused by MS, ALS, Friedriech’s Ataxia, and Wilson’s disease

58
Q

What are the differences between flaccid-spastic and ataxic-spastic dysarthria?

A

flaccid-spastic is associated with monopitch and monoloudness whereas ataxic-spastic is associated with inappropriate loudness levels. Flaccid-spastic dysarthria is associated with a slow rate of speech, distorted vowels, breathiness, audible inspiration, nasal emisson, inappropriate silences, and strangled voice quality; no articulatory breakdowns, and is most commonly resulted from ALS. Ataxic-spastic dysarthria is associated with no slow rate of speech and articulatory breakdowns and most commonly results from MS. Hypernasality is present in both

59
Q

What do flaccid-spastic and ataxic-spastic have in common?

A

imprecise articulation and harsh voice quality

60
Q

Regarding respiration issues, how do the following dysarthria types differ: flaccid, ataxic, hyperkinetic, and hypokinetic?

A

flaccid: reduced subglottal pressure, short phrases
Ataxic: paradoxical breathing
Hypokinetic: reduced vital capacity; breath quickly and irregularly
Hyperkinetic: forced inhalation and exhalation and you can hear them while they breathe

61
Q

Regarding phonation issues, which types have monopitch and monoloudness?

A

flaccid, ataxic, hypokinetic, flaccid-spastic

62
Q

Regarding phonation issues, which types do not have monopitch and monoloudness?

A

spastic, ataxic-spastic, unilateral upper-motor neuron, hyperkinetic

63
Q

Regarding phonation issues, how do these types of dysarthria differ?

A

spastic: strained-strangled and pitch breaks, low pitch, continuously breathy voice, and short phrases
UUMN: Strained voice; harshness; wet voice; breathy voice
Hyperkinetic: voice stoppage, voice tremor, voice noise, harsh voice, and loudness variation
Ataxic-spastic: inappropriate pitch levels, harsh voice quality

64
Q

What is the difference between tics and chorea?

A

tics: Rapid, involuntary, and quick stereotyped movements
Chorea: random, involuntary movements of the body
Both movement disorders are associated with hyperkinetic dysarthria

65
Q

What is the difference between dystonia and tics?

A

tics: rapid, involuntary, and quick stereotyped movements; dystonia: contraction of antagnostic muscles that cause abnormal posture such as spastic torticollis and blepharospasm

66
Q

Which dysarthria types are caused by a stroke?

A

flaccid; flaccid-spastic; unilateral upper motor neuron; ataxic

Q

When treating resonance issues, an SLP can use

A

68
Q

When treating vocal intensity, an SLP can use

A
