exam 2 Flashcards
Soft palate
- may have veloppharyngeal impairment (mobility and sufficient tissue are very imp)
If a chd has velopharngeal inadequacy which phonemes are affected
- Fricatives
- Affricatives
- Stops
Nasopharynx
- Adenoids/ nasopharyngeal tonsils
- May be hypertrophied- chd possible hypo nasal
- Adenoids can compensate for short or partially immobile soft palate assisting w/ VP closure
- Can block the Eustachian tube opening in nasopharynx depriving middle ear of ventilation
Hard palate
- Normal variations don’t present a problem
- Highly vaulted arched palate might be problematic
- Problems if there is a cleft of if partially or completely removed secondary due to cancer
o Prostheses and pharyngeal flaps help
o Cleft of HP are typically repaired during the first 12-24 months of life
o Scarring from surgery has not been found to interfere with articulation
Teeth
- Teeth and dental arch alignment are generally not related to artic errors, but they can be of the condition is drastic
- Teeth are imp for the production of /f, v/ voiced and voiceless “th”
- Look at the condition- may be missing or misaligned
- Extra or “supernumerary” teeth present no risk unless they erupt out of the palate
Class I malocclusion
dental arches are aligned but a few teeth are misaligned
Class II malocclusion
lower jaw is receded and the upper jaw is protruded; overbite (maxilla over mandible)
Class III Malocclusion
lower jaw is protruded and upper jaw is receded; under bite
Ankyloglossia
short lingual frenulum)
- Usually not a problem unless really short
- If they produce /t,d,l/ then don’t worry
Glossectomy
(partial or total removal of the tongue due to cancer)
- Patients can regain decent enough articulation although some intelligibility is lost
Dysarthia
Motor speech disorder associated with PNS or CNS damage
- Speech muscles weak, uncoordinated or paralyzed
Dysarthia us due to cased by
- TBI, CVA (stroke), degenerative diseases, Parkinson’s disease, cerebral palsy
- Depends on site of lesion
Cerebral Palsy
Neuro-motor disorder in chd
- non progressive
Cerebral Palsy is due to
Due to brain injury or brain malformation that occurs before, during or immediately after birth (prenatal, perinatal, post natal)
Chdhood apraxia of speech occurs in 3 conditions
- Neurological Impairment
- Complex Neurodevelopment disorder
- Idiopathic speech disorder
