Etiology Flashcards
UMN damage
slow to initiate the swallow
structures move slow
weak
Apraxia
difficulty initiating swallow
slowed oral transit time
Dementia
lack of awareness of bolus
problems with oral prep and oral stage
Parkinson’s
do not swallow automatically
trouble cooridnating the strucutral movements
Brainstem CVA
weak swallow
difficulty initiating
Surgery
changed anatomy
sensation affected
Laryngectormee
what
Radiation
reduced movement of all structures
Right Hemisphere
Increased duration of oral phase
Greater pharyngeal delay
Pharyngeal dysmotility
Left Hemisphere
Swallow apraxia
but, pharyngeal swallow may be motorically normal
subcrtoex
mild delay in pharyngeal trigger
impairment in timing of pharyngeal component
cerebellum
uncoordinated swallow
poor bolus control
impaired sequencing/timing
Pons
delayed pharyngeal swallow
reduced hyolaryngeal excursion with cricopharygneal dysfunction
Medulla
absent pharyngeal swallow
reduced hyolaryngeal swallow
unilateral VF paresis
CN V
sensation of ant 2/3 of tongue, palate, inside of mouth, lower lip
