31
Q

A

consonant & vowel distortions/distorted substitutions; slow rate (inter-segment durations), abnormal prosody; NOT consistent error type/position; groping, increased errors w/ increased length, awareness of errors, automatic>propositional speech; AMRs > SMRs; errors increase w/ increased length/complexity

32
Q

33
Q

34
Q

Feedforward motor control

35
Q

Feedback motor control

A

observing/correcting; integrates somatosensory & auditory input w/ feedforward systems; articulatory parameters modified based on discrepancy between internal model and actual sensory state; use w/ perturbation/children; adaptive, slower, precise “enough”; helps feedforward system to learn new motor plans; neural: temper-parietal regions

36
Q

Impaired feedfwd, intact feedback AOS hypothesis

A

normal speech pattern w/ bite block suggests feedback control intact, feedback used as compensations following damage to feedforward; slow rate, imprecise arctic may be due to reliance on feedback system (Jacks, 2008)

37
Q

38
Q

Motor learning for retention

40
Q

42
Q

44
Q

45
Q

Mechanisms of hyperkinesia

A

damage to subthalamic nucleus & damage to striatum (dis-inhibition/over-excitation of cortex); neurotransmitter dysequilibrium (among excitatory cholinergic & inhibitory dopaminergic NT)

46
Q

Dysequilibrium among neurotransmitters

A

excitatory (choline) & inhibitory (dopaminergic) transmitters are involved in BG control circuit; neuroleptic drugs that modulate NTs may cause unintended imbalance in BG, hyperkinesia

47
Q

Classification of hyperkinesias

A

fast/slow; rhythmic/irregular/continuous; many/few body parts; rest/static posture during voluntary movement; sleep deprivation, anxiety & heightened emotions exacerbate symptoms

48
Q

49
Q

Essential tremor

A

most common movement disorder; 50% autosomal dominant; onset early adulthood; tremor in tongue, velum, pharynx, larynx; diagnosis: sustained vowel production, endoscopic visualization or VFs show periodic fluctuations 4-7; tx: reduced intensity levels, elevate pitch to change VF tension, shorter vowel duration, precede vowels w/ /h/

50
Q

Spasms

A

51
Q

Palatal myoclonus

A

palatal tremor; rhythmic movements of velum, pharyngeal walls, laryngeal muscles; patients report ear clicks, laryngeal spasm; silent intervals due to interruption of movement, intermittent hyper nasality, voice arrest, slow voice tremor during vowel prolongation

52
Q

Action myoclonus

A

clonic spasms brought about by movement; imprecise speech, inability to talk fast (patient report); slow rate, deterioration of repeated syllables w/ increased rate, decreased precision w/ increased rate

53
