Motor Speech DO Flashcards
Define Motor Speech Disorders
Disorders of speech resulting from neurologic impairment affecting the motor programming or neuromuscular execution of speech.
Apraxia and Dysarthrias
What are the three processes that work together to produce speech?
Cognitive linguistic process- “decide what you want to say”intention to communicate
Motor speech programing- “motor speech planning”
Neuromuscular execution-“ execution” cns and pns innervate muscles
How can you identify facciculations?
Tiching
Means nerve is dying
What is dysarthria?
Group of motor speech disorders resulting from disturbances in muscular control over the speech mechanism due to damage of the CNS or PNS. Can result in: Paralysis Incoordination of speech musculature Weakness
What subsystems of speech can dysarthria affect?
Respiration Phonation Resonation Articulation Prosody
T or F
Both apraxia and dysarthria can occur with aphasia.
True
T or F
Apraxia co-occurs more commonly with aphasia
True
What are the subsystems that apraxia can affect?
Articulation and prosody
T or F
Transient course of disease means symptoms don’t last, they disappear completely
True
Fill in the blank:
____________ means things are improving but some symptoms are still there- but not as severe
Improving
Course of disease
MC
When symptoms don’t get better, they continue to get worse or new symptoms appear is called:
A. Stationary
B. Exacerbating- remitting
C. Progressive
C. Progressive
T or F
When symptoms occur, then get better, them occur again, then better, then worse is called exacerbating- remitting.
True
______ symptoms remain unchanged after they have reached maximum severity
Stationary
Match
A. Chronic
B. Acute
C. Subacute
- Comes on within months
- Comes on quickly within minutes.
- Comes on within days.
A 1
B 2
C 3
What is the main job of the Medulla?
Controls respiration
4 main anatomic level of CNS
What constitutes the Supratentorial?
Ant and middle fossae Paired frontal, temporal, parietal, & occipital Basal ganglia Thalamus Hypothalamus CN I & II
4 main anatomic level of CNS
What contains the posterior part of CNS?
Posterior fossa
Brainstem
Cerebellum
CN III-XII
Where do 10 of the 12 pairs of CNs originate?
Brain stem- at the posterior fossa level
Refresher
What are the 3 Meninges?
Dura mater
Arachnoid mater
Pia mater
What are the neurologic systems?
- Ventricular system (where the ventricles are filled with CSF)
- Vascular system (blood vessels )
- Neurochemical system (amino acids, ACH, neuropeptides)
- Consciousness system (maintaining consciousness, attention, etc)
- Motor system (motor activity… Some areas or cortex, basal ganglia, cerebellum, CNS/PNS)
- Sensory system (peripheral receptor organs)
What does a motor unit contain?
Axon muscle fiber it innervates
Fill in the blank
Supporting Glial Cells
_________ form myelin in CNS
_________ form myelin in PNS
_________ help move substances between blood and neurons of CNS, part of blood brain barrier
Oligdendroglia cells
Schwann cells
Astrocytes
Refresher
This is the relay station of the brain
Thalamus
Refresher
Contains globus palladus, putamen, caudate nucleus, lentiform nucleus
Basal ganglia
Initiation?
______ damage found in single area
Focal
_______ damage found in more than one area
Multifocal
_______ damage involve bilateral symmetric parts of the nervous system
Diffuse
What are some of the etiologies that can produce MSD
Degenerative diseases- ALS Inflammatory diseases- meningitis Toxic Neoplastic dz- tumors Traumatic Injuries Vascular diseases- CVA neurons deprived from oxygen
If damage to UMN
Spastic
