Q

Motor Speech Disorder

A

impairment of speech production caused by defects of the neuromuscular system, the motor system or both

defects involve programing, planning and or execution of speech

cannot be explained by other disorders such as language, cognitive or phonological impairments

Q

Muscles can be….

A
paralyzed (unable to move)
weak (inability to move adequately) 
spastic (too much tone, tight) 
flaccid (too little tone, loose, flabby)
uncoordinated 

muscle can…

  • move to far or not far enough
  • in the wrong direction
  • move with too much or too little strength
  • move at the wrong time in sequence or stop moving

Q

Apraxia of Speech (AOS)

A

AOS is the inability to transform a linguistic representation into appropriate coordinated muscular movements of the articulators

  • disorder of motor planning/programming
  • planning: process that defines/sequences of articulation goals prior to their occurrence
  • programming: process for establishing and preparing the flow of motor information across muscles for speech production and specifying timing and force required for all movements

Q

AOS Characteristics

A
  • effortful, slow speech w/increased pauses b/w syllables and sounds
  • prolonged duration of speech sounds
  • distortion of the speech sounds
  • reduced prosody (pitch, duration, loudness b/w stress, and unstressed syllables)
  • groping
  • absence of muscular weakness
  • increased difficulty as the utterance length advances
  • inconsistent errors
  • no weakness

Q

AOS Etiologies

A
  • damage is most usually near Broca’s area

- damage may be to the perisylvian area

17
Q

Dysarthria

A
  • “slurred speech”
  • disruption in the execution of speech muscle movements
  • execution: process responsible for activating relevant muscles during the movements used in speech production
  • involves all speech production domains
  • results from damage to the to the CNS or PNS
  • will always show some degree of weakness, slowness, incoordination, or alteration of muscle tone
18
Q

Dysarthria Etiologies

A
  • developmental
  • recovering
  • stable
  • degenerative
  • exacerbating and remitting
19
Q

Cerebellum

A
  • center for coordination of smooth, accurate, voluntary movements
  • doesnt initiate motor action
  • serves in regulation of force, speed, range, timing, and direction of movement originating from the pyramidal system
  • gait, limb coordination and balance will be impacted
  • movements will be slow in starting and in accomplishing there objective
20
Q

Cerebellum

A
  • repetitive motions will be slow and irregular
  • alternating movements will be irregular
  • hypotonicity and flaccidity of muscles is frequently present
  • gait may be broad based w/impairment in equilibrium
  • intention tremors
  • intention tremors may be present in speech; laryngeal musculature may also be impacted
21
Q

Etiologies of Cerebellar Damage

A
  • tumor
  • CVA
  • demyelinating disease (MS)
  • inherited degenerative disease
  • encephalitis
  • alcohol toxicity
  • cancer
  • vascular lesions
