Motor Speech Disorders Flashcards

1
Q

Neurologic process of speech production involves: (3 things) -CMN

A

1) COGNITIVE-linguistic process = intention to communicate.
2) MOTOR speech programming= executed by neuromuscular system. Selects and organizes the sensorimotor programs.
3) NEUROMUSCULAR execution= CNS an PNS innervate the necessary muscles (of the subsystems for speech) to produce desired words.

Q

What is the main difference between apraxia and dysarthria.

A

apraxia = problems with motor execution/programming but NO MUSCLE WEAKNESS OR PARALYSIS.

dysarthria= problems with motor execution/programming DUE TO MUSCLE WEAKNESS OR PARALYSIS.
