Intro to MSDs Flashcards
0
Q
Motor Planning/Programming
A
Translation of a linguistic code into movements to create a spoken signal
- Includes how far, how fast, and when
1
Q
What is involved in Cognitive-Linguistic processes?
A
Cognition: an idea or intention of speech
Linguistic: words retrieved and converted to verbal signals
2
Q
Disorder at the level of motor planning is called…
A
Apraxia
3
Q
Motor Execution
A
Processes by which a motor plan is put into action
4
Q
Disorder at the level of motor execution is called…
A
Dysarthria
5
Q
Motor speech disorders
A
- includes neurologically-based speech disorders
- excludes disorders of language and thinking
- two categories: dysarthrias, apraxias
6
Q
Why should we study MSDs?
A
- effects are predictable and recognizable
- occur frequently in neurologically compromised populations
- may signal onset of neurologic disease
- can be managed
7
Q
Differential diagnosis
A
- the process of narrowing diagnostic possibilities and arriving at a specific diagnosis
8
Q
Dysarthria definition
A
- speech impairments caused by weak, imprecise, and/or temporally disordered movements of speech muscles
- caused by damage to CNS and/or PNS
- disorder of movement
9
Q
Apraxia of speech
A
- caused by disruption of motor programming
- disruption in sequential movement for volitional speech production
- musculature NOT impaired
- be aware of the company it keeps
10
Q
Methods of studying MSDs
A
- Perceptual
- Instrumental
- Etiological
- Systems
11
Q
Perceptual method of studying MSD
A
- should be the foundation of clinical practice
- gold standard
- rely on auditory perceptual attributes of speech
- judgments of severity
- decisions about management
- assessment of change
- difficult to quantify; and subjective
12
Q
Instrumental method of studying MSD
A
- acoustic
- Physiologic
- Visual imaging
13
Q
Etiological approach to studying MSD
A
- helps you make predictions and communicate w/ physicians
14
Q
Systems approach to studying MSD
A
- helps you determine relative contribution of physiologic subsystems
- helps you plan treatment
