Motor Speech Disorders Flashcards
Neurologic process of speech production involves: (3 things) -CMN
1) COGNITIVE-linguistic process = intention to communicate.
2) MOTOR speech programming= executed by neuromuscular system. Selects and organizes the sensorimotor programs.
3) NEUROMUSCULAR execution= CNS an PNS innervate the necessary muscles (of the subsystems for speech) to produce desired words.
What is a motor speech disorder?
It is a disorder of SPEECH resulting from neurologic damage and it affects MOTOR PROGRAMMING or MOTOR EXECUTION.
What are the two main motor speech disorders?
DYSARTHRIA & APRAXIA
What is the main difference between apraxia and dysarthria.
apraxia = problems with motor execution/programming but NO MUSCLE WEAKNESS OR PARALYSIS.
dysarthria= problems with motor execution/programming DUE TO MUSCLE WEAKNESS OR PARALYSIS.
T or F:
Dysarthria can affect all speech subsystems.
TRUE
- respiration
- phonation
- articulation
- prosody
- resonance
What are the 6 types of dysarthria.
- flaccid
- spastic
- ataxic
- hypokinetic
- hyperkinetic
- mixed
T or F:
Both apraxia and dysarthria can occur with aphasia.
TRUE!
**But in apraxia more commonly co-occurs with apraxia*
What are the two main subsystems of speech affected with APRAXIA?
- articulation =usually inconsistent errors
* prosody
What does TRANSIENT mean? (course of disease)
- the symptoms don’t last , they disappear COMPLETELY
What does IMPROVING mean? (course of disease)
- the symptoms are improving but they may still be there. (just not as severe)
What does PROGRESSIVE mean? (course of disease)
- symptoms will become worse over time and other new symptoms may appear.
What does EXACERBATING-REMITTING mean? (course of disease)
- symptoms occur, then get better, then occur again etc.
What does STATIONARY mean? (course of disease)
- symptoms don’t change
The course of the motor speech disorder depends on it’s _________________?
ETIOLOGY
Symptoms can be described as : _________ , __________, _____________.
1) ACUTE = comes on withing MINUTES
2) SUBACUTE= comes on within DAYS
3) CHRONIC =comes on within MONTHS
Motor speech disorders are associated with ______________ disorders.
CHRONIC
The CNS contains:
1) BRAIN
- cerebrum
- brain stem
- cerebellum
2) SPINAL CORD
The PNS contains:
1) Cranial nerves (12 pairs)
2) Spinal nerves (31 pairs)
What are the 4 lobes in the cerebrum?
Frontal
Parietal
Temporal
Occipital
