Chapter 15 Differential Diagnosis: Dysarthria vs. Apraxia Flashcards
Dysarthria vs. Apraxia: Damage to supratentorial, posterior fossa, spinal or peripheral lesions
DYSARTHRIA
Apraxia occurs with supratentorial damage and not the others
Dysarthria vs. Apraxia: Occurs primarily with lesions to the carotid system
APRAXIA
Dysarthria occurs with lesions to the carotid and other vascular systems
What is the most difficult dysarthria to differentiate from AOS?
UUMN
Dysarthria vs. Apraxia: Oral Mech Exam indicates neuromuscular problems
DYSARTHRIA
Dysarthria vs. Apraxia: All subsystems are affected
DYSARTHRIA
apraxia only affects articulation and prosody
Dysarthria vs. Apraxia: Most commonly occurs with Aphasia
APRAXIA
Dysarthria vs. Apraxia: Articulation errors are mostly distortions
APRAXIA
Dysarthria vs. Apraxia: Articulatory groping
APRAXIA
