Q

Differential dx of dysarthria and AOS

A

Dysarthria vs AOS
- All speech systems vs. artic + prosody
- Consistent errors vs. inconsistent

Q

Why do bilateral UMN lesions cause spastic dysarthria?

A

UMN sends the signal to muscles to relax; when impaired, it’s not giving that signal and so ++ stretch reflex, ++tonicity

Perceptual voice/speech characteristics of spastic dysarthria

A
  • Slow, deliberate pace
  • Equal + excess stress; monotone

Q

What does a person with PD having mixed spastic-ataxic dysarthria indicate?

A

Either they don’t have PD or they have something else going on as well because PD shouldn’t be associated with ataxia

Q

What kinds of dysarthrias could we expect from ALS?

Study These Flashcards
A

++ Flaccid
++ Spastic
(often mixed of the two)

23
Q

What kinds of dysarthrias could we expect from MS?

Study These Flashcards
A

+ Flaccid (sometimes present but not nec. typical)
++ Spastic
++ Ataxic
+ Hypokinetic
+ Hyperkinetic
+ UUMN

24
What is Sound Production Treatment used for? What is it?
Apraxia of Speech https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DdA1_PADaHw 1. Target sound/word/minimal pair/phrase; model and ask for repetition 2. Written letter + reminder; repeat 1 3. Watch me, listen to me, and then say it with me w/ max number of attempts 4. Provide specific placement cues 5. Reduce step (e.g. sound instead of word) 6. If wrong, move on to next target
25
Ataxic dysarthria is caused by damage to the ____ system
Cerebellar
26
Which type of dysarthria is described as giving the impression of "druken speech"?
Ataxic dysarthria
27
Which type of dysarthria is associated with festination of gait?
Hypokinetic (trait of Parkinson's)
28
Which is the only type of dysarthria where a *fast* rate of speech can be observed?
Hypokinetic
29
T/F: pushing, pulling, and other effortful closure techniques to enhance vocal fold adduction are usually beneficial for spastic dysarthria
False - hyperadduction is generally already a problem for someone with spastic dysarthria
30
Vigorous nonspeech exercise is generally contraindicated in _______.
Rapidly degenerative disease and myasthenia gravis.
31
Traditional approaches to articulation therapy with dysarthria + apraxia pts
- Integral stimulation - Phonetic placement cues - Phonetic derivation - Exaggeration - Minimal pairs/contrastive drills - Referential tasks
32
What types of dysarthria would be contraindicated for a hand tapping to control rate?
Hypokinetic PD patients --> accelerate the rate Ataxic --> most likely too uncoordinated
33
T/F: Working on prosody can have beneficial effects on rate control
True
34
Spasticity is associated with a lesion to what site, probably?
UMN
35
A strained/strangled vocal quality is associated with what lesion site? What cranial nerve?
UMN Vagus nerve
36
Variable range is associated with what dysarthrias?
Ataxic Hyperkinetic
37
Reduced range of movement associated with what dysarthrias?
Flaccid Spastic Hypokinetic
38
Increased rate is associated with what dysarthria?
Hypokinetic
39
Tongue fasciculations, slow and slurred DDKs and a breathy vocal quality are all signs of what type of dysarthria?
Flaccid
40
True/False: Those who can easily imitate productions have a better prognosis
True
41
T/F: In patients with progressive dysarthria, listeners' perceptions are more accurate than the patients'
True - not as sensitive to early changes; able to offer more accurate ax of communication effectiveness
42
Patient has: - Reduced palatal movement - Reduced pharyngeal wall movement - Incomplete glottal closure Signs of what dysarthria?
Flaccid
43
Patient has: - Reduced lip and jaw amplitude - Lip rigidity - Bowed vocal folds Signs of what dysarthria?
Hypokinetic
44
Patient has: - Reduced inhalatory/exhalatory volume - Slow velopharyngeal movement - Reduced tongue strength - Incomplete lingual artic. contact Signs of what dysarthria?
Spastic
45
T/F: The UMN is contained within the CNS?
True
46
Individual client factors that may influence compensatory strategies
o Presence + severity of co-occurring conditions o Presence + severity of motor impairment o Awareness of communication limitations o Capacity to repair breakdowns o Patient and care partner preference (capacity for support)
47
Populations with weak respiratory support
Flaccid dysarthria Hypokinetic dysarthria Children with spastic CP
48
Which dysarthria is associated with Pseudobulbar Palsy?
Spastic
49
Lombard effect
involuntary tendency to increase vocal effort when speaking in loud noise
50
Why should we not assume that reduced air pressure in dysarthria is caused by respiratory weakness/incoordination?
Could be caused by - Velopharyngeal mechanism - Impairment in larynx - Insufficient articulatory closure
51
Why does sustained vowel not reflect breath support?
- Pts inhale a greater amount - Reflects max lung capacity - Does not represent demands of speaking for 4-5 seconds at a conversational loudness and quality
52
Lack of vocal flexibility (pitch variation) seen in what dysarthria?
Generally associated with hypokinetic (PD) but can be found in all types
53
54
Dysarthrias associated with LMN lesion?
Flaccid dysarthria
