General principles of Managing MSDs Flashcards

1
Q

Why is it better to focus on communication than just speech?

A

Other things can augment speech, such as gestures. Sometimes patients cannot regain 100% normal speech.

What are types of AAC intervention?

A

switches

33
Q

How do clinicians maximize communication?

A

By whatever means that will produce the most rapid, effective, natural results.

34
Q

What is the goal of speaker oriented approaches?

A

To improve the speaker

35
Q

How can clinician reduce MSD impairment?

A

By increasing physiologic support - oral motor exercises to increase strength and ROM.

36
Q

Name speaker oriented approaches:

A
  • increase physiologic support - oral motor exercises to increase strength and ROM.
  • use compensatory strategies such as slow rate and over articulation.
37
Q

What do communication oriented approaches do?

A

structure the interaction to improve speaking strategies. Give patient hierarchy of strategies.

38
Q

How does the clinician provide counseling and support?

A

Providing information on the disease and future course as well as types of intervention; assisting patient in learning to live with the disease.

39
Q

What are the foundations for behavioral management?

A
  • neuroplasticity
  • motor activity itself help in this reorganization
  • the nervous system is capable of some recovery
40
Q

What is neuroplasticity?

A

The ability of the injured brain to reorganize itself to compensate for impaired abilities.

41
Q

What does repeated motor performance affect?

A

cortical reorganization and improves performance

42
Q

The nervous system is capable of ______ _______. There are _____ to what can be expected but we should not assume there can be no ______.

A

some recovery
limits
recovery

43
Q

What does motor reorganization require after injury?

A

Use - you must use it to improve it.

44
Q

For patients with non-progressive disorders, recovery requires lots of ______.

A

speaking

45
Q

Speech must become _______ - patients must learn to _________ and _________ —–and must start early on.

A

conscious
self-monitor
self-criticize

46
Q

What should be first consideration in MSDs?

A

increasing essential physiologic support

47
Q

Improving speech requires ______.

A

speaking

48
Q

Drill is essential—-What is more effective?

A

Short, frequent periods (minutes) are more effective than long periods (hours).

49
Q

Both _____ and _______ are important in principles of motor learning for speech.

instruction

self-learning

50
Q

______ is important especially in early stages, can be provides by SLP or others, _______ through instruments is helpful also.

A

Feedback

feedback

51
Q

What does data show regarding feedback?

A

Frequent feedback may decrease performance and that less frequent feedback (after every 5 trials or so) is better for long-term effects.

52
Q

_______ of training is important. Data shows that use of _____ ______ exercises may not assist in speech improvement. Speech tasks should be the focus

A

Specificity

oral motor

53
Q

What does data show regarding oral motor exercises?

A

The use of oral motor exercises may not assist in speech improvement. Speech tasks should be the focus.

54
Q

What are consistent practice examples?

A

-saying the same sound, word, etc for a number of times.

55
Q

What are variable practice examples?

Initially emphasize _______ till the patient is ______, then work on increasing rate but keep an eye on accuracy.

A

accuracy

intelligible

58
Q

When should strength training be considered?

Ataxic dysarthria might suggest working on ______ first and not work on ______.

A

incoordination

strength

62
Q

How does a clinician determine what to work on with a patient diagnosed with a MSD?

A
  • Determine the component of the speech system that needs tx.
  • Establish a hierarchy of which subsystems to treat first. Tx should begin with the source.
  • Rule of thumb- begin working on the component that will have the most benefit on other components.
  • Consider that what changes with minimal instruction and effort may be easiest to change habitually.
63

early

medical danger

64
Q

What has research shown regarding patient in the chronic stage and treatment?

They can show improvement

65
Q

Why is baseline needed?

A

To establish goals and measure change.

66
Q

______ frequency is better. Typically ____ _____ in rehab settings.

A

Greater

twice daily

67
Q

How should clinician organize session in terms of tasks?

A

Start with easy tasks, then harder ones & end with success

68
Q

What performance level should client work at?

A

60-80%. When 90% accuracy is achieved, increase difficulty.

69
Q

What should be considered to have an effective session?

A

Fatigue. Tx is best early in day if possible

70
Q

What type of treatment is best in initial stages of tx?

A

Individual tx

71
Q

Why is group treatment helpful?

A

With carry over and generalization

72
Q

What should clinical decisions be based on?

A

Evidence based practice but with considerations for all the variables that involve individual patients.

73
Q

What is the primary goal for tx of AOS?

A

To maximize the effectiveness, efficiency and naturalness of communication.

74
Q

What does treatment of AOS focus on?

A

Restoring or compensating for impaired function and adjusting to the loss of normal speech.

75
Q

What differentiates treatment for dysarthria vs treatment for apraxia?

A

Treatment of dysarthria focuses on improving the physiologic support for speech whereas for apraxia treatment it focuses on improving the programming of speech.

76
Q

Apraxia treatment should allow time for learning to be _______. Don’t stop treatment as soon as _______ is seen.

A

solidify

improvement

77
Q

What should be the goal for patients with progressive diseases with apraxia?

A

The goal should not be to work toward improvement but to maximize communication.

78
Q

What targets for apraxia do SLP traditionally started with?

A

Targets that were stimulable, however, research has shown that working on more difficult targets may result in better generalization but will be harder to initially acquire.
