1
Q

Transcortical Motor Aphasia

A

Caused by damage to the area directly in front of Broca’s area, the prefrontal, and connections between the two. Go button is broken, and do tasks literally.

2
Q

Definition of Aphasia (Basics 6)

A

Acquired, left side language function, multimodal, affects both expressive and receptive, caused by brain damage, and cognition is relatively intact.

3
Q

Transcortical Sensory Aphasia

A

Caused by damage to the fibers between Wernicke’s, angular gyrus, and parietal lobe. Comprehension is difficult. Distinguished from Wernicke’s because speech is intact but comprehension is poor.

4
Q

Transcortical Mixed Aphasia

A

Caused by damage to the area in front of Broca’s and behind Wernicke’s. Likely caused by anoxic brain damage. Cannot talk or comprehend, but can repeat.

5
Q

Jargon

A

Undifferentiated- same non word repeated over and over again. Neologistic- different non words repeated over and over again. Semantic- non meaningful at the sentence level but individuals words are understandable.

6
Q

MRI

A

Uses magnetic field to attract hydrogen in water. Cell death means that no water and therefore hydrogen is present. If no water the area will appear white. Extremely expensive and must stay completely still during process.

7
Q

fMRI

A

Functional MRI. Measures the amount of deoxygenated hemoglobin in the brain. Less hemoglobin the more oxygen is being used, and the more oxygen the more active that area of the brain is. Shows what areas have taken over for damaged areas and what areas may not be directly damaged but function below normal.

8
Q

Photon Emission Tomography

A

PET Scan. Radioactive tracer is injected or inhaled into the body. The scan picks up the tracer and converts it into a 3d image. May take up to three hours to complete and individual must stay completely still during that time.

9
Q

Diffusion Tensor Imaging

A

Measures water movement across mylinated axons. Can look at the damage in the connections between the brain. Is good for anoxic damage.

10
Q

Subcortical Aphasia

A

Caused by damage swelling in the language areas of the brain. Exhibit phonemic paraphasias.

11
Q

12
Q

13
Q

A

The study of the distribution, determinants, correlates, and outcomes of disability and the application of this study to maximizing the health, participation, and quality of life of people and persons with disability.

14
Q

A

Maximum damage to the brain but individual is physiologically stable. May begin therapy.

15
Q

Boston Diagnostic Exam

A

Measure of body function. Contains language sample, comprehension tasks for reading, writing, and speaking. Contains vocabulary controls. Major problem is that it is out of context and does not give accurate representation of the conversational strengths and weaknesses of an individual. Was intended to classify individuals based on their type of aphasia, and was not indented for basing therapy goals off of.

16
Q

CALD-2

A

Similar to the ASHA FACS but standardized. Is a good test for how patients participate in environment. Sets up scenarios and scores patient responses. Decontextualixed so not most accurate on skill level. Good for creating therapy goals in relation to activity and participation.

17
Q

ASHA FACS

A

Based off of the predecessor to the ICF. Is a test of how well individuals participate in daily life. Is rated on a 7 point Likert scale. Rating is highly subjective, and there is poor interrater reliability. Has a good interview guide that could be used, and good for creation of functional goals.

A

The ability of the brain to form new neural connections due to environmental changes. This is why therapy exists.

35
Q

Statistical Application of ICF

A

Allows better statistical data for disability epidemiology and therefore a better societal cost.

36
Q

Research Application of ICF

A

Allows researchers and clinicians to ‘speak the same language’. Will help foster research on the relationship between body function and structure and activities in participation, more reliable and accurate measures for activities and participation and environmental factors in rehab process, increase attention to effects of the ICF and quality of life, and the role personal factors play in the rehab process.
