Q

What are the 4 Basal Ganglia motor functions?

A
  1. Regulate the duration of a selected action
  2. Decide whether another action is of enough importance and value to interrupt the existing action
  3. Choose when to terminate the current action
  4. Some movement scaling through timing changes (mostly cerebellar circuit)

Q

Activation of the direct pathway (high dopamine)….

A

Blocks inhibition

This releases the thalamus and motor cortex to proceed with the motor plan

16
Q

Activation of the indirect pathway (low dopamine)…

A

Inhibits thalamus

This stops excitation of the motor areas and inhibits actions

17
Q

When this pathway is overactive movement size and duration is

A

Reduced

18
Q

What is the one word for Hypokinetic Dysarthria?

A

REDUCED

**Rushes of speech sounds like “shivering” in the DDKs at a rapid pace

GALLOPING (Horse is HYPO)

19
Q

What are some Non-Speech symptoms?

A
  • Unilateral Tremor (excess movement from “go”)
  • Rigidity of muscles and joints (reduced movement from “stop”)
  • Bradykinesia (slowness of movement)
  • Facial masking and reduced blink frequency
  • Hypokinesia – Reduced volitional movement range
  • Reduced gesturing during speech
  • Micrographia- consistently small and abnormally small handwriting
  • Gait and arm swing
  • Festinating gait
  • Postural instability
20
Q

What are some Speech symptoms?

A
  • Dysphonia - hoarseness, breathiness, and/or tremulousness
  • Monopitch
  • Monoloudness
  • Reduced stress
  • Variable rate with short rushes of speech
  • Consonant and vowel imprecision
  • Reduced range of movement of articulators
  • Neurogenic Stuttering (acquired onset of repeated phonemes)
21
Q

What is the most common Etiology?

A

Parkinson’s Disease
Incidence: 50 per 100,000 people over age 50
Slowly progressive in most cases
Life expectancy after diagnosis ~ 15 years
~40% develop dementia
~90% develop dysarthria
~80% develop dysphagia
Depression is common

22
Q

Other Etiologies

A

Vascular Parkinsonism (basal ganglia stroke)

Toxicity due to antipsychotics and other medications

Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy

Infection (postencephalitic parkinsonism)
- West Nile, HIV (Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy)

23
Q

What are some Non-Speech Treatments

A

Levadopa/Carbidopa for Parkinson’s Disease
- Supplements dopamine produced by the body
- Can result in tardive dyskinesia, dystonia
- Motor function has peaks and troughs as body metabolizes

Deep Brain Stimulation
- Insertion of electrode into the basal ganglia (usually subthalamic nucleus or globus palladus)
- Electrical stimulation acts as substitute for missing dopamine neurotransmitters
- Voltage, firing rate, etc. are adjusted to maximize benefit for the patient

24
Q

What are some Respiration treatments?

A

Expiratory Muscle Strength Trainer (EMST)
- Main effect on muscles of exhalation
- Available to purchase publicly ~$50
- Pt blows into device fitted with one-way spring-loaded pressure release valve
- When pressure target is met, valve opens
- 5 sets of 5 breaths, 5 days per week

Inspiratory Muscle Strength Trainer (IMST)
- Main effect for diaphragm
- Be careful with patients who have other additional lung conditions

25
Q

What are some Speech treatments?

A

Lee Silverman Voice Treatment
- High-intensity vocal effort with many repetitions
- Focus on increasing sensory awareness of loudness and effort
- Must be certified in LSVT to offer the program

Parkinson Voice Project

Pacing boards for self pacing of rate

Tapping or using a metronome to keep rate and rhythm consistent

Delayed Auditory Feedback (DAF) for neurogenic stutter has shown mixed results

26
Q

What is the motor function of the Basal Ganglia?

A

Regulate the duration of a selected action

Decide whether another action is of enough importance and value to interrupt the existing action

Choose when to terminate the current action

Some movement scaling through timing changes (mostly cerebellar circuit)

34
Q
