27
Q

temporary treatment for myasthenia gravis

A

injection of edrophonium chloride (Tensilon)

28
Q

symptoms of mysathenia gravis

A

rapid fatigue of muscular contractions over short time, with recovery after rest; hypernasality, decreased loudness, breathy voice quality, decreased articulatory precision

29
Q

assessment of mysathenia gravis

A

stress test involving asking patient to count from 1 to 100 or to read lengthy paragraph

30
Q

guillain-barre syndroe

A

results in demyelinzation; frequently occurs after certain kinds of infections and immunizations

31
Q

symptoms of guillain-barre syndrome

A

flaccid dysarthria, dysphagia

32
Q

recovery for guillain-barre syndrome

A

high recovery rate, lasting weeks or months, 5% die in acute stages

33
Q

polio

A

an infection viral disease that attacks cell bodies of LMN; most frequently affects cervical and thoracic spinal nerves causing: labored inhalation during speech, shortened speech phrases, speaking on residual air, decreased loudness

34
Q

muscular dystrophy

A

causes progressive degeneration of muscle tissue, can result in muscles weakness in many muscles served by cranial nerves

35
Q

progressive bulbar palsy

A

can affect both UMN and LMN, although often only present in LMN, with LMN damage causes flaccid dysarthria; UMN and LMN causes mixed dysarthria

36
Q

reduced maximum phonation time

A

females typically 15-20 sec & males typically 20-25 sec

37
Q

resonance

A

reflects bilateral damage to pharyngeal branch of vagus innervates most muscles of the velum

38
Q

errors of resonance

A

hypernasality, nasal emission, weak pressure consonant, shortned phrases

39
Q

nasal emission

A

weak velopharyngeal closure

40
Q

weak pressure consonant

A

decreased intraoral air pressure

41
Q

shortened phrases

A

wasted air that escaped through nasal cavity during speech

42
Q

articulation

A

imprecise consonant production: severity varies, damage to facial and hypoglossal nerves

43
Q

damage to trigeminal nerve (articulation)

A

difficulty elevating jaw sufficently to bring articulators into contact with each other

44
Q

phonation

A

phonatory incompetence: incomplete adduction of VFs during phonation

45
Q

phonation caused by damage to recurrent banch of vagus nerve

A

breathy voice quality or whisper, weak or paralyzed adductor or abductor muscles

46
Q

strong confirmation of flaccid dysarthria in relation to phonation

A

combined Prescence of hypernasality and phonatory incompetence

47
Q

respiration

A

weakened respiration may or may not be a component of flaccid dysarthria; decreased inhalation or impaired control of exhalation during speech with damage to cervical and thoracic spinal nerves responsible for innervating diaphragm and intercostal muscles

48
Q

symptoms of respiration

A

reduced loudness, shortened phrase length, strained vocal quality if speaking on residual air to prolong phrase length, minikoudness, monopitch; infrequent inhalation when speaking

49
Q

prosody

A

weakened laryngeal muscles that are unable to make many fine VF adjustments necessary for normal pitch and loudness variations

50
Q

symptoms of prosody

A

monopitch and monoloudness; NOT a diagnostic marker for flaccid dysarthria

51
Q

key evaluation tasks for flaccid dysarthrias

A
  • conversational speech and reading, AMR tasks, prolonged vowel, speech stress test
52
Q

conversational speech and reading

A

can evoke errors of resonance, artic., respiration, and prosody

53
Q

AMR task

A

will highlight a slowed rate of phoneme production

54
Q

prolonged vowel

A

helpful in eliciting breathy voice quality heard in phonatory incompetence; also useful for observing respiratory weakness

55
Q

speech stress test

A

necessary in suspected cases of mysathenia gravis

56
Q

treatment of motor speech disorders

A

-use assessment data to identify deficits
-begin working with patients using appropriate treatment goals
-increase complexity of tasks as patients improve
-work toward generalization of improvements

57
Q

Rosenbeck 6 reccomendations

A
  • help patients recgonize differences in their speech
  • help patients have a willingness to change their speech for the better
  • work closely with patients when setting goals of treatment
  • increasingly insist that patients are talking therapeutically in their sessions, eventually even while engaged in small talk
  • ensure patients are learning to listening, evaluate, and self-correct their speech
  • be sure to progressively add cogntive-lingustic load to treatment tasks to ensure patients are working toward generalization
58
Q

damage to trigeminal nerve unilateral

A

negligible effect on speech production

59
Q

damage to trigeminal nerve bilateral

A

rare; can leave jaw muscles very weak or in severe cases, cause inability to close jaw; may need jaw sling to compensate

60
Q

damage to vagus nerve

A

affects glossopharyngeal and accessory cranial nerves, close proximity to each other

61
Q

treatment for resonance vagus

A

velar strength-training procedure’ modification of speech; reduce rate; more open-position mouth during speech; increase loudness

62
Q

treatment for phonation vagus

A

pushing and pulling procedures, holding breath, hard glottal attack, head turning and sideways pressure on the larynx

63
Q

treatment for prosodic deficits vagus

A

pitch range exercises, intonantion profiles, contrastive stress drills, chunking utterances into syntactic units

64
Q

damage to facial and hypoglossal nerves

A

affects speech production primarily by decreasing lip strength and range of movement; traditional artic. drills recommended

65
Q

treatment for respiratory weakness

A

correct posture, compensatory prosthetic devices, speaking immediately on exhalation, cueing for complete inhalation
