Miscellaneous Flashcards
1
Q
Aphasia
A
- acquired neurological impairment of processing for receptive/ and or expressive language
- ## result of brain trauma, injury, CVA, tumor or infection
2
Q
fluent aphasia
A
- lesion varies based on the type of fluent aphasia but freq involves the temporal lobe , Wernicke’s area or regions of the parietal lobe
- word output and speech production are functional
-Prosody is acceptable but empty speech
-
3
Q
non-fluent aphasia
A
- lesion varies based on type of non-fluent, but freq the frontal lobe of the dominant hemisphere is affected
- poor word output and dysprosodic speech
- poor articulation and incr effort for speech
- content is present but impaired syntactical words
4
Q
Wernicke’s aphasia
A
- Lesion: post region of superior temporal gyrus
- “receptive aphasia”
- comp[rehension impaired
- good articulation
- impaired writing
- poor naming ability
- motor impairment not typical due to the distance from Wernicke’s area to the motor cortex
5
Q
conduction aphasia
A
- Lesion: supramarginal gyrus, arcuate fasciculus
- severe impairment with repetition
- intact fluency, good comprehension
- speech interrupted by word-finding difficulties
- reading intact
- writing impaired
6
Q
Broca’s aphasia
A
- Lesion: 3rd convolution of frontal lobe
- “expressive aphasia”
- most common form of aphasia
- intact auditory and reading comprehension
- impaired repetition and naming skills
- frustration with language skill errors
- paraphasias are common
- motor impairment typical due to proximity of Broca’s area to the motor cortex
7
Q
global aphasia
A
- Lesion: frontal, temporal and parietal lobes
- comprehension (reading/ auditory) severely impaired
- impaired naming, writing, repetition skills
- may involuntary verbalize, usually w/o context
- may use nonverbal skills for communication
8
Q
Verbal apraxia
A
- non-dyarthritic and non- aphasic impairment of prosody and articulation of speech
- verbal expression is impaired secondary to deficits in motor planning
- Lesion usually in left frontal lobe
9
Q
dysarthria
A
- motor disorder of speech that is caused by an upper motor neuron lesion that affects the muscles that are used to articulate words and sounds.
- speech is often slurred
10
Q
Facilitatory ROOD techniques
A
- approximation joint compression -icing -light touch - quick stretch - resistance - tapping - traction
11
Q
Inhibitatory ROOD techniques
A
- deep pressure
- Prolonged stretch
- warmth
- prolonged cold
12
Q
relapsing- remitting MS (RRMS)
A
- characterized by discrete attacks of neurological deficits (relapses) with either full or partial recovery in subsequent weeks or months
- periods between relapses are characterized by lack of disease progression
13
Q
Primary- progressive MS (PPMS)
A
- characterized by disesase progression and a deterioration in function from onset
- Pt may experience modest fluctuations in neurological disability but discrete attacks do not occur
14
Q
secondary- progressive MS (SPMS)
A
- characterized by an initial relapsing-remitting course, followed by a change to a progressive course with a steady decline in function, with or without continued acute attacks
15
Q
Progressive- relapsing MS (PRMS)
A
- characterized by a steady deterioration in disease from onset but with occasional acute attacks;
- intervals between attacks are characterized by continuing disease progression
