17
Q

How can apraxia of speech be distinguished from dysarthria?๐Ÿ”‘๐Ÿ”‘

A

SPEECH APRAXIA

  • Inconsistent errors due to preserved articulation
  • Disorder of language: word retrieval, comprehension of verbal and written language

DYSARTHRIA

  • Consistent errors due to impaired articulation
  • Disorder of speech system: respiration, phonation, resonation, and articulation

DeLisa 5th Edition Chapter 15 pg415

Google Notes:

  • The difference between the two is that dysarthria is a speech impairment while aphasia is a language impairment.
  • People who live with apraxia have difficulty putting words together in the correct order or โ€˜reachingโ€™ for the correct word while speaking. Dysarthria occurs when a patientโ€™s muscles do not coordinate together to produce speech.
18

Q

Anosognosia vs Agnosia

AGNOSIA

Patient is unable to recognize and identify objects, persons, or sounds despite normally functioning senses.

31
Q

Why is Left Sided Neglect More Common than Right Sided Neglect? ๐Ÿ”‘๐Ÿ”‘

A

๐Ÿ’ก Unilateral spatial neglect is more common in patients with right sided lesions (42%) than left sided lesions (8%) and is more persistent with right sided strokes.

Neuroanatomical findings have identified that the left hemisphere is responsible for modulating arousal and attention for the right visual field, whereas the right hemisphere controls these processes in both right and left visual fields.

This may explain why unilateral spatial neglect is not typical for those with left hemisphere damage (LHD) post-stroke because the intact right hemisphere is capable of compensating for perceptual deficits that result from LHD

Stroke Rehabilitation Clinician Handbook 2020 Model 1 pg9

32
Q

Types of Unilateral Spatial Neglect ๐Ÿ”‘๐Ÿ”‘

A

EGOCENTRIC NEGLECT
