Q

Characteristics of Fluent Aphasia

A
  • Deficits in: auditory/reading comprehension
  • Speaking rate of 100-200 words per min (normal)
  • Syntactic errors
  • Normal articulation, prosodic features and fluency
  • Omission of content words (“bbe boop AND oop dopp but um oo bee doo”)
  • Circumlocutions
  • Paraphasias (“gat” instead of “Cat”)

Q

Alexia

A

Disorder of Reading

20
Q

Agraphia

A

Disorder of writing

21
Q

Acalculia

A

Disorder of math

22
Q

Paraphasias

A
  • literal/phonemic
  • Verbal/semantic
  • neologisms
  • jargon
23
Q

Literal/phonemic paraphasia

A

substitute unintended sounds for intended sounds of words

24
Q

verbal/semantic paraphasia

A

word errors in which error is semantically related to correct word

25
neologisms
combo of consanants and vowels with appropriate syllable structure and inflection to create new words
26
Jargon
pt is unaware he is speaking in paraphasisias and believes everyone understands him
27
Propositional Language
- Novel language - pts have difficulty with this - conversation
28
Nonpropositional language
-autonomic/overlearned language
29
Rule of 5s
- keep it simple - 5 letter words - 5 words per sentence
30
Keep the language similar
- "point to the apple" - "point to the apple" - Not: point, then touch then where is it, then point
31
Nonfluent Aphasia Types
- Broca's - Transcortical Motor - Global
32
Associated Lesion Sites of Nonfluent Aphasia
- Central Sulcus--ant to fissure of rolando - Broca's Area - Motor strip
33
Characteristics of Nonfluent Aphasia
- Good auditory comprehension - difficulty initiating speech - reduced speech rate - effortful speech - Abnormal intonation and prosody - increase of content words - deletion of gramatical morphemes - uses short phrases/sentences - reluctance to speak (know they're having troubles)
34
Broca's Aphasia
- right-sided weakness/paralysis - deficits in auditory comprehension - difficulty understanding syntactical morphemes - Agrammatic speech - Telegraphic speech (like Sarah from video) - slow effortful speech - difficulty reading/writing - oral reading effortful and nonfluent - writing difficulties mirror verbal expression - can occur with motor speech disorders
35
Global Aphasia
- combo of fluent and nonfluent aphasia - more severe - Cause: occlusion of L MCA - Severe impairments of comprehension, integration and formulation of language in ALL modalities - hard talking, reading, writing etc
36
Dysphagia
- Swallowing disorder - difficulty swallowing that occurs when impairments affect any of the 4 phases of swallowing and put an individual at risk for aspiration of food and liquid and potential aspiration pneumonia
37
4 Phases of Swallowing
- Oral preparatory - oral - pharyngeal - esophageal
38
Modified Barium Swallow Study
- Gold standard - dynamic imaging of bolus from entering mouth to entering stomach - AKA: MBS (modified barium swallow), VFSS (video fluoroscopic swallow study)
39
Fibro Endoscopic Eval of Swallowing
- (FEES) - info about pharyngeal phase - endoscope passed through nose into nasopharynx - laryngopharynx can be viewed while pt eats - black out when pt swallows (not visible)
40
Penetration
-Material enters larynx and remains above vocal folds
41
Aspiration
material goes beyond vocal folds
42
Aspiration Pneumonia
- acute inflam caused by material entering lungs | - symptoms: spiked temp, myalgia, productive cough
43
Silent Aspiration
- aspiration without productive cough or choking because of a lack of sensation in larynx - no sensation=no protective maneuvers (cough, choke)
44
Treatments for Dysphagia
- Vital stim (NMES for swallowing) - traditional dysphagia exercises - Different postures/positions/techniques - diet modifications
45
Diet Modifications
Liquid consistencies (thin, nectar-like, honey-like, spoon thick/pudding thick) Solid Consistencies: (National Dysphagia Diet: NDD1, NDD2, NDD3, Regular)
46
Swallow Precautions Seen
- diet modification (or NPO) - chin tuck - chin tilt (L, R) - head turn (L, R) - Double swallow - alternate solids and liquids - small bites/sips - 24/7 supervision
