managing dysarthrias Flashcards
speaker-oriented treatment
medical, prosthetic, and behavioral tx directed at modifying respiration, phonation, resonance, artic, rate, prosody, and naturalness
Respiration - Increasing respiratory support tx
- Require 5cm water pressure for 5 sec
- Controlled exhalation
- Pushing, pulling, bearing down
- Inspiratory and Expiratory Muscle Strength Training
Respiration - prosthetic tx
- Abdominal trussing for posture and support
- Abdominal force for increased expiratory strength
respiration- behavioral tx
- Deep breath before speech
- Limit breaths per expiration: Establish optimal breath group and advance as tolerated
- Speech breathing treatment + Lee Silverman Voice Therapy (LSVT)
phonation- surgical tx
- VF paralysis or bowing: Medialization (type I) thyroplasty, Arytenoid adduction surgery, Surgical anastomosis
- Adductor spasmodic dysphonia: Recurrent laryngeal nerve resection, Botox injection, Laryngeal adductor denervation-reinnervation, Lateralization (type II) thyroplasty
phonation- prosthetic tx
- SpeechVive for increasing loudness in individuals with Parkinson’s disease
- Ambulatory voice monitoring and feedback devices
- Portable voice amplifier
phonation- behavioral tx
For unilateral/bilateral VF paralysis: effort closure techniques, initiate phonation at the beginning of exhalation, turning head, lateral digital manipulation, LSVT
resonance - medical/surgical tx
injection pharyngoplasty
resonance- prosthetic tx
- palatal lift prosthesis
- nasal obturator
- one-way nasal speaking valve
resonance- behavioral tx
- Modifying the pattern of speaking
- resistance training (CPAP)
- feedback
- nonspeech velopharyngeal movement
artic- medical/surgical tx
- Neural anastomosis
- Botox injection
artic- prosthetic tx
bite block for jaw opening
artic-behavorial
- Strength training: Not generally advised or considered effective
- Stretching: may have some effect on increasing ROM and decreasing the effects of spasticity on speech; Sustained maximum jaw opening; tongue protrusion, retraction, or lateralization; and lip retraction, pursing, and puffing
- Relaxation: Not advised; focus on speech movements
- Biofeedback: Limited research
- Traditional articulation methods: Integral stimulation, phonetic placement, phonetic derivation; Minimal contrasts, clear speech, intelligibility drills
rate
Possibly most effective treatment area at increasing intelligibility
rate- prosthetic tx
- Delayed auditory feedback, pacing board
- auditory and visual metronomes
- alphabet supplementation
rate- behavioral tx
- Slow speech rate, hand or finger tapping, rhythmic cueing, visual feedback, backdoor approaches
- SLP should also adopt approach to model
