adult speech Flashcards
A disorder of motor execution
dysarthria
assessment steps for dysarthria
information gathering
cog-comm assessment/language
- orientation
- 1-2 step directions
- expressive language
-receptive language
oral peripheral exam
- muscle strength, ROM, speed, accuracy
auditory peripheral exam
diadochokinesis
connected speech sample
formal assessment for dysarthria
Frenchay Dysarthria Assessment (12+)
muscular weakness, hypotonia, stiffness/tightness
spastic dysarthria
etiologies for spastic dysarthria and SoL
CVA
als, ms
brainstem stroke
TBI
inflam disease
bilateral upper motor neurons
speech production errors - spastic dysarthria
resp - generally not an issue
artic - imprecise consonants
prosody - monopitch, monoloudness, reduced pitch
res - hypernasal
phonation - harsh vocal quality, strain-strangled
assessment for spastic
conversational speech
diadochokinesis
- AMR highlight slowed rate
vowel prolongation
Treatment for spastic
resonance - surgical flap, teflon injection, palatal lift
- velar strengthening - blowing and sucking, ^ loudness, slow rate, open mouth
artic - intell drills, phonetic placement, exaggerating, minimal contrast
prosody - pitch range, intonation profiles, contrastive stress
phonation - head and neck relax, easy onset, yawn- sigh
muscular weakness and hypotonia
flaccid dysarthria
etiologies for flaccid dysarthria
and sol
mysathenia gravis
polio
guillain-barre
tumors
brainstem stroke
sol - lower motor neurons in one or more cranial or spinal nerves
flaccid dysarthria speech production errors
respiration - shallow breathing, stridor
resonance - hypernasal
artic - imprecise consonants
prosody - reduced pitch and loudness
phonation - breathy
assessment for flaccid dysarthria
convo speech and reading
AMRs highlight slow rate
prolonged vowel for breathiness
speech stress in suspected myasthenia gravis
treatment for flaccid
respiration - correct posture, speak immediately on exhalation
resonance - increase loudness, reduce rate, open mouth
artic - intell drills, phonetic placement, exaggerating consonants
prosody - pitch range, intonation, contrastive stress, chunking utterance
phonation - pushing and pulling, holding breath, hard glottal attack
imprecise, jerky, poorly coordinated movements, inaccurate force, range, timing, direction
ataxic dysarthria
etiologies and site of lesion for ataxic
SoL- cerebellum
- degen diseases
- CVA
- toxic conditions
- TBI
- Tumor
speech production errors for ataxic
- respiration - slow and controlled, speak on exhale, stop phonation
- artic - traditional artic therapy
- prosody - rate control and stress/ intonation: contrastive stress drills, pitch range, intonation
hyperkinetic dysarthria sol and etiologies
Huntingtons TBI stroke infections
excessive and involuntary movements
hyperkinetic dysarthria
