Q

Common Non-Speech Characteristics of Hypokinetic Dysarthria?

A
  • Resting Tremor
  • Rigidity
  • Bradykinesia (appears to have super fast movements)
  • Hypokinesia
  • Akinesia
  • Postural Abnormalities
  • Reduced eye blink
  • Swallow infrequently (drooling because of this)
  • Rapid tremulous jaw and lips
  • Flat affect (facial expressions)

Q

Speech Characteristics of Hypokinetic Dysarthria

A
  • Aberrant range or speed of movement
  • Deficits are mainly seen in phonatory, articulatory and prosody
  • speech movements and timing are generally accurate
  • Individual movements are slow
  • repetitive movements are fast (tongue and force are reduced)
  • Excessive muscle tone
  • Reduced ROM maybe more significant in underlying neuromuscular deficit related to speech

Mild hyper nasality

17
Q

Perceptual articulation symptoms of Hypokinetic Dysarthria?

A
  • Sounds slushy
  • Imprecise
  • rapid-repeated
  • blurred
  • Irregular AMR
18
Q

Perceptual prosody symptoms of Hypokinetic Dysarthria?

A
  • Increased rate in segments
  • Increased overall rate
  • Monotone
  • Monoloudness
  • Short rushes of speech
  • Phrase or syllable repetitions
  • Palilalia with excessive pauses
  • Reduced stress
  • Variable rate
19
Q

Physiological Symptoms of non speech oral motor function of Hypokinetic Dysarthria?

A
20
Q

Causes of MSDs (VITAMIN-D)

A

o Vascular accident
o Infectious disease
o Trauma
o Allergic or anoxic conditions
o Metabolic disorder
o Idiopathic
o Neoplasm
o Degenerative and/or demyelinating disease

21
Q

Parkinson’s Disease (PD)

A

o High prevalence of dysarthria
o Can affect laryngeal and velopharyngeal function, oral articulation, and intelligibility
o PD due to a loss of neurons in basal ganglia that produce dopamine, the substantia nigra, which is related to the BG and the brain stem.

22
Q

Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP)

A

o An extrapyramidal syndrome
o Symptoms include ophthalmoplegia (paralysis of eye muscles), rigidity of neck, pseudobulbar palsy, and a severe spastic dysarthria.

23
Q

Dyskinesias

A

o General term that describes abnormal involuntary movements typically associated with BG pathology
o Most familiar with tardive dyskinesia (TD)
o Medications often cause dyskinesias

24
Q

Dystonia

A

o Characterized by abnormal involuntary movements and postures
o Form of hyperkinesia
o Involuntary movements (spasms) are usually associated with voluntary motor activity

25
Q

Huntington’s Disease

A

o Degenerative disorder of nervous system and includes symptoms of chorea, dementia, and history of familial occurrence; onset between 35-40; chromosome #4 is implicated
o May have minimal or no dysarthria if choreic movements are in limbs and/or body.
o Speech may be unintelligible if the choreic movements involve respiratory, oral and facial muscles.

26
Q

Flaccid dysarthria

A

LMN damage (final common pathway, motor unit)
* Distinctive because it is produced by injury or malfunction of one or more of the cranial or spinal nerves
