Motor 2 - Aphasia, Flaccid, Spastic, and UUMN Dysarthria Flashcards
What part of speech is: produced w/ a relatively open vocal tract?
Vowels
stops
Formed by completely occluding vocal tract at some point between the vocal tract and lips, and may be followed by a burst of air called stop release
nasal
occlusion of vocal tract in same way as stops BUT VP port is open and sound goes through the nasal cavity
fricatives
Air forced through narrow constriction, vocal tract narrowed at some point, produces sustained “frication”, Noisy, hissing quality, and paired w/ stops as obstruents
affricates
Two-phase: stop followed by brief fricative, and production is represented by a combination of two symbols
obstruents
stops, fricatives, affricates (there’s an obstruction)
glides and liquids
Also called approximants, articulators not close enough to produce a stop or fricative, grouped w/ nasals as sonorants, and pronounced “resonant” quality
glides
the gradual movement of articulators, is sometimes called “semi-vowels” because of its similarity to vowels
liquids
Faster articulatory movement than glides, and is sometimes produced w/ a “retroflex” place of artic., tongue tip curled behind alveolar ridge

What is relatively unaffected in AOS?
Reflexive and automatic speech are relatively unaffected
Ideomotor apraxia
type of apraxia where the client has the idea of what to do but they need help with the planning
Ideational apraxia
type of apraxia where the client forgets what to do with the object/item/task
Limb apraxia
type of apraxia characterized by the inability to sequence movements of limbs during a voluntary action; issues with brushing teeth, writing a letter, combing hair
Nonverbal Oral Apraxia
Affects nonverbal, voluntary movements of tongue, lips, jaw, etc.; Groping, Hesitations, Incomplete or incorrect movements, Extra movements, Not usually seen in spontaneous or reflexive movements, Often co-occurs with AOS; issues with whistling, puffing cheeks
AOS definition
Inability to accurately sequence motor commands needed to correctly position the articulators during voluntary production of phonemes; often occurs with (Broca’s) aphasia and/or dysarthria (UUMN); SOL is left frontal lobe, perisylvian region
Etiologies of AOS
Stroke - 58%
Degenerative diseases - 16%
TBI - 15% (usually surgical trauma)
Speech characteristics of AOS
Primarily articulation and prosody
Speech is labored and halting
Articulatory groping
Inconsistent errors
May be nearly mute in severe cases
Anticipatory
Back of the word to front coarticulation - “lelo” for yellow
Perseverative
Bababa for banana
Metathetic
Two consonants are transposed - e.g. hitsory for history
Articulation errors - stay away from (AOS)
Stay away from clusters; fricatives and affricates are difficult; errors are common in initial position; low-frequency and nonsense words are more difficult; the more of a distance in oral cavity the harder it is
Prosody (AOS)
Slow speech rate (hesitations, prolonged phonemes), equal syllable stress, silent pauses before or between syllables, reduced pitch and loudness variability
Evaluation of AOS: specific tasks
- Repetition of words & sentences
- Count from 1 to 20
- Count backward from 20 to 1
- Picture description (cookie theft from BDAE)
MIT Candidates
- Left CVA
- Restricted verbal output
- Good auditory comprehension
- Poor articulation
- Poor repetition abilities
- Good motivation and attention span
MIT steps
Phase 1 - unison with fading
Phase 2 - delay of 6 secs
Phase 3 - introduce Sprechgesang
