Exam 3 Flashcards
single words uses
high pressure consonants
What are adaptive misarticulations
- occur in response to oral structural deviations
- are obligatory
Potential Causes of mechanical obstruction
- excessively large palatine TONSILS
- structurally anomalous faucial pillars
NAE primarily affects
high pressure/obstruent consonants
compensatory misarticulations (CMAs) are predominantly take place where in the oral cavity?
- errors in place and tend to be backed
- below the defect causing VPI
PSNE is perceptually seen as
a nasal fricative
What is in overjet
- protrusive premaxilla with or without Angle Class II malocclusion
What is velopharyngeal insufficiency due to (5)
- unrepaired palatal clefts
- mechanical interference (tonsils, adenoid, posterior pillar webbing)
- post-surgical insufficiency
- palatopharyngeal disproportion
- ablative palatal lesions (cancer, TBI)
Given diagram be able to identify landmarks associated with hard and soft palate (Module 17, slide 6?)
- rugae
- palatine tonsils
- anterior and post faucial pillars
- uvula
- median raphe
- hard palate
What does it mean when errors are obligatory vs optional/learned
OBLIGATORY
- due to structural or neurogenic problems
- require physical management
OPTIONAL/LEARNED
- habituated errors that are the result of early mislearning
- exist despite adequate VP closure
- require speech remediation
What are the four types of speech deviations associated with cleft palate speech
- resonance (hypernasality)
- airflow (nasal air emission)
- air pressure (weak or absent oral pressures)
- articulation (maladaptive compensatory misarticulations)
An open bite can be anterior or
lateral
The size of the tongue can be assessed by
- its objective size
- in relationship to the size of the mandibular or maxillary arch
How do you know the NAE is caused by phoneme specific nasal emission (PSNE)
- the NAE affects only selected phonemes
Compensatory misarticulations can persist after a cleft is repaired and can be a source of
VPI
How do you know NAE is caused by VPI
NAE will be constant/pervasive
Function of Palatopharyngeus
pulls soft palate back and down
- narrowing of VP port
- medial movements of lateral pharyngeal walls (below level of palatal plane)
- velar lowering
What is an open bite
- both the upper and lower teeth are forced outwards to an extent that the teeth of the upper and the lower jaw do not touch each other, even when the mouth is closed.
Airflow in cleft palate speech leads to
nasal air emission
True or false:
Learned NAE can be realized in different forms:
- as a fricative substitution, with or without turbulence
- as NE that is co-produced with the target, with or without turbulence
- No - as a nasal fricative substitution, with or without turbulence
- True
PSNE occurs in what population
non-cleft
What is velopharyngeal incompetency (internet definition)
- when there is a problem in how the soft palate moves to make speech sounds
How are obligatory errors better treated
surgically or prosthetically
What is the function of the uvulus?
- gives bulk to soft palate, and helps move uvula forward
- bulges the middle third of the dorsal surface of the velum making a major contribution to levator (velar) eminence
Where do missing teeth tend to be
where the cleft is or was
Can adequate movement to achieve velopharyngeal closure be detected intra-orally
no but we can describe whether or not any movement was observed and whether or not movement was symmetrical
What is VP mislearning (internet)
the person has not learned how to use the VP mechanism properly
Microglossia/underdeveloped tongue can cause
bilateral collapse in mandibular arch
How can adequate movement to achieve VP closure be detected
an instrumental evaluation (nasendoscopy or videofloroscopy)
Persisting post-op NE is perceptually sees as
- co-produced NE
- a nasal fricative
Is the cause of VP incompetence structural, neurogenic or mislearning
neurogenic
Causes of ankyloglossia: frenum is
- too short
- attached too far anteriorly
- attached too broadly on inferior surface
- combinations of above
VP incompetence is seen in patients with?
dysarthria
What is hyponasality, and which sounds does it affect?
- too little nasal resonance
- cold-in-the-head sound
- affects vowels, sonorants and nasal consonants
What is the function of the levator veli palatini?
- Levator veli palatini elevates and retracts the velum
Therapy for kids after 3 years old involves traditional articulation techniques with an emphasis on
- teaching the identity, location, and actions of oral structures (mirror, pictures)
- teaching how sounds are made (using multiple modalities of learning or the difference between oral and nasal airflow)
- phonemic placement techniques
- sound contrasts
Ectopic teeth are the consequence of
an underdeveloped, crowded maxillary/mandibular arch
What are the sampling contexts for assessing cleft palate speech
- single words
- sentences
- zoo passage
What are the different forms of VP closure?
- coronal (velum with lateral pharyngeal walls)
- sagittal (lateral pharyngeal walls with some velum)
- Circular (lateral pharyngeal walls and velum are equal)
- circular with passavant’s ridge (lateral pharyngeal walls, velum and passavant’s ridge are equal)
Function of superior pharyngeal constrictor?
- medial movements of the lateral pharyngeal walls
- forward movement of the posterior pharyngeal wall
- at the level of the palatal plane (or below for swallowing)
What causes of VP incompetency
- Dysarthria (primary motor/neuromotor control)
What is velopharyngeal inadequacy
- umbrella term for different types of velopharyngeal dysfunction
