Motor Speech Disorders introduction Flashcards
The neurologic process of speech production involves:
- cognitive-linguistic process
- motor speech programming
- neuromuscular execution
What is the cognitive linguistic process?
The aspect of speech production involving an intention to communicate which is organized into the verbal symbols that follow the rules of language.
What is motor speech programming?
The intended communication has to be executed by the neuromuscular system. The speaker selects and organizes sensory programs that cause the appropriate speech muscles to be activated at the right times.
What is neromuscular execution?
The CNS and PNS innervate the necessary muscles of respiration, phonation, articulation, and resonance to produce desired words.
What is the definition of motor speech disorders?
Disorders of speech resulting from neurologic impairment affecting the motor programming or neuromuscular execution of speech. They encompass apraxia of speech and the dysarthrias.
What are the two types of motor speech disorders?
dysarthria
apraxia of speech
What is dysarthria?
collective name for group of motor speech disorder resulting from disturbances in muscular control over the speech mechanism due to damage of the CNS or PNS. Can result in paralysis, weakness, or incoordination of speech musculature.

Dysarthria
Disorders of speech resulting from neurologic impairment affecting the motor programming or neuromuscular execution of speech. They encompass apraxia of speech and the dysarthrias.
Motor speech disorders
Dysarthria affects the following subsystems of speech:
- respiration
- phonation
- resonance
- prosody
- articulation
True or False: The site of lesion for Dysarthria is in the CNS
False, CNS and PNS
What are the types of dysarthria
Flaccid dysarthria hyperkinetic hypokinetic spastic dysarthria mixed disarthria ataxic dysarthria
What is Apraxia of Speech?
Neurogenic speech disorder resulting from impairment of the capacity to program sensorimotor commands for the positioning and movement of muscles for volitional production of speech. Occurs in the absence of weakness.

Apraxia of Speech
True or False: Both apraxia and dysarthria can co-occur with aphasia.
True
____________ more commonly co-occurs with aphasia.
Apraxia of speech
Apraxia affects the following sybsystems
Articulation: may be inconsistent errors, difficulty initiating speech
Prosody - due to starting and stopping in self-correcting
Course of disease can be:
- Transient
- Progressive
- improving
- stationary
- exacerbating-remitting
Define transient:
symptoms don’t last, they disappear completely
Define improving
things are improving but some symptoms are still there - just not as severe
Define progressive
Symptoms don’t get better, they continue to get worse or new symptoms appear
Define exacerbating- remitting
symptoms occur, then get better then occur again; gets worse, then better
Define stationary
symptoms remain unchanged after they have reached maximum severity.
symptoms don’t last, they disappear completely
Transient
things are improving but some symptoms are still there - just not as severe
what is improving
Symptoms don’t get better, they continue to get worse or new symptoms appear
Progressive
symptoms occur, then get better then occur again; gets worse, then better
exacerbating-remitting
symptoms remain unchanged after they have reached maximum severity.
stationary
Development of symptoms
acute
subacute
chronic
Define acute
Comes on quickly within minutes
Define subacute
Comes within days
Defina Chronic:
comes on within months
Most motor speech disorders are associated with ______ disorders.
chronic
