21
Q

Flaccid dysarthria neuro damage

A

-damage to any part of 1 or more CNs (nucleus, axon, or jxn) or can result from muscle damage

22
Q

Flaccid dysarthria common causes

A
  1. traumatic – surgical, CHI, neck injury
  2. neuropathies of 1 or more CN
  3. degenerative diseases
  4. CVA – rare
23
Q

spastic dysarthria speech characteristics

A
  • harshness
  • low pitch
  • slow rate
  • strained/strangled quality
  • pitch breaks
  • slow & regular AMRs
24
Q

Spastic motor characteristics

A
  • increased muscle tone
  • hyperactive reflexes
  • slow
  • loss of fine motor control & agility/precision
25
Q

spastic neuro damage

A
  • bilateral UMN damage
  • usually damage to direct and indirect pathways (extrapyramidal & pyramidal pathway)
  • *see pseudobulbar palsy/psuedobulbar affect in pt w/ bilateral UMN damage
    • –displays lack of inhibition of emotional display(d/t extrapyramidal pathway damage)
26
Q

spastic common causes

A
  • degernerative diseases

- stroke (usually multiple strokes or UMN brainstem stroke)

27
Q

hypokinetic speech

A
  • monopitch
  • monoloud
  • variable rate
  • rapid “blurred” AMRs
  • short rushes of speech
  • reduced stress
28
Q

hypokinetic motor impairments

A
  • rigidity
  • bradykinesia
  • akenesia (loss of automaticity)
  • festination
  • tremor
  • excessive tone
29
Q

Hypokinetic common causes

A
  • degenerative diseases (PD, PSP)

- vascular strokes

30
Q

hypokinetic neurological damage

A
  • damage to the striatum in the BG
  • deficiency of dopamine in the substania niagra
  • leads to imbalanced cortical motor output to the LMN that causes the hypokinesia, rigidity, and tremors
31
Q

ataxic dysarthria speech

A

**sounds like a drunk person

  • irregular articulartory breakdowns
  • prosodic excess
  • prolongation of phonemes
  • irrgular AMRs
  • excessive loudness variation
32
Q

ataxic motor

A
  • reduced movements
  • slow (esp repetitive movements)
  • inaccurate/dysmetria
  • incoordination/dysdiachochokinesis
  • intention tremor
33
Q

ataxic neuro

A

disruption to the cerebellar circuit

—-bilateral cerebellar damage is most likely to cause severe ataxic dysarthria

34
Q

ataxic dysarthria causes

A
  • degernerative diseases
  • demyelinating diseases (MS)
  • TBI
  • Vascular
  • cerebellar tumors
35
Q

hyperkinetic speech

A
  • slow/irregular AMRs
  • distored vowels
  • prolonged intervals
  • voice tremor
  • transient breathiness
36
Q

hyperkinetic motor

A
  • quick/slow involuntary muscle movements that interfere with voluntary muscle movements
  • slow
  • reduced force
  • irregular rhythm
  • dyskinesias
37
Q

hyperkinetic neuro

A
  • lack of GABA and excess dopamine with cortico-frontotemporal atrophy
  • CNS dysfunction-GG circuits
38
Q

hyperkinetic common causes

A
  • -diseases of the BG control circuit
  • majority is idiopathic
  • spasmodic dysphonia
  • organic voice tremor
  • degenerative diseases (Huntingtons chorea)
39
Q

unilateral upper motor neuron flaccid dysarthria speech

A
  • similar characteristics of spastic and LMN flaccid but more variability depending on damage
  • facial weakness –> lower 1/2 face and tongue
  • imprecise articulation, slow rate, and reduced loudness
40
Q

unilateral upper motor neuron flaccid dysarthria damage neuro damage

A
  • cerebral hemispheres –> usually internal capsule
  • damage to the direct/indirect pyramidal pathway (corticobulbar tract) which executes precise, skilled, discrete movements

….loss of fine, controlled skilled movements
hypotonia
weakness

41
Q

Vertebobasilar artery stroke

A

UMN damage –> spastic dysarthria

VB arteries are further apart in cortical hemispheres so you need multiple strokes to cause spastic dysarthria

42
Q

ICA stroke (Internal Carotid) – MCA, ACA

A

-may cause unilateral UMN flaccid dysarthria if an MCA stroke

spastic dysarthria if it is bilateral damage

…damage to primary motor cortex/subcortical structures —>may accompany AOS or aphasia if in LH, cognitive deficits likely present if in RH

43
Q

Lacunar Strokes

A
  • small infarcts from occlusions of branches in carotid or VB systems
  • usually subcortical damage –BG, thalamus, internal capsule, direct/indirect pathways

multiple lacunar strokes –> dementia, parkinsonism

….can result in flaccid/spastic/hypokinetic dysarthria

44
Q

dysarthria in parkinsons

A

hypokinetic

*look at hypo kinetic notecard

45
Q

dyarthria in PSP

A

mixed hypo, spastic, and ataxic

46
Q

dysarthria in MS

A

–ataxic & spastic

–due to demylination of the myelin sheath around neuron in the CNS of the white matter

Speech characteristics: irregularities and slowness

  • syllables pronounced slowly and hesitantly
  • harshness
  • defective articulation
  • …in general com pains of fatigue (psychical and cog sense)
47
Q

dysarthria in ALS

A

*mixed spastic & flaccid

speech characteristics:

  • severe harshness and strained-strangled squeezing of low-pitch tones, gurgle
  • disrupted prosody
  • prolonged intervals and phonemes
  • appropriate silences
