What is the only kind of dysarthria that causes increased rate of speech?
hypokinetic dysarthria
What will the majority of hypokinetic dysarthria patient’s have?
Parkinson’s disease
What will you see a lot of with hypokinetic dysarthria?
rigidity and reduced ROM
What causes hypokinetic dysarthria?
basal ganglia dysfunction
What is basal ganglia in charge of?
- suppressing unwanted movements
- muscle tone
- posture
What is a shuffling gait called?
festinating gait
What is muscle tone like to hypokinetic dysarthria?
normal or increased
What is masked facies?
when the facial muscles have reduced ROM and have very little expression
What is difficult for Parkinson’s patients/hypokinetic patients?
starting and stopping movements
What is akinesia?
difficulty initiating movement
What is bradykinesia?
term for slow movement (term that is with rigidity)
What kind of tremors do you see with Parkinson’s patients?

When will you see a resting tremor?
when a patient isn’t engaged in an activity
Where do you tend to see a lot of rigidity and reduced ROM for patients with hypokinetic dysarthria?
articulatory and phonatory system
What will reduced ROM in the phonatory system cause?
- monopitch
- monoloudness
- breathiness/hoarseness
What do some patients with Parkinson’s have in terms of their vocal cords?
bowing
What do the VFs do for people with parkinson’s/hypokinetic dysarthria?
won’t close all the way
What does reduced ROM of the articulators cause?
fast rate
-articulators don’t need to move very much so they are able to move fast
What causes the stooped posture in Parkinson’s?
rigidity in the neck, trunk, and limbs
What is hypokinesia?
resistance to passive movement that doesn’t release

- tumors
- infections
- TBI
- anoxia
- cerbrovascular disease
What is parkinsonism?
when there are parkinson like symptoms, but there is a different underlying problem
What are the hallmark symptoms for hypokinetic dsyarthria?
- monopitch
- monoloudness
- increased rate of speech
