Q

Respiration

A

Power supply of speech production; provides subglottic air pressure that is turned into acoustic energy by the speech production mechanism

Q

Phonation

A

The production of voice. Laryngeal muscle activity to adduct the vocal cords during exhalation is required. Abnormal voice production, regardless of cause, is called dysphonia, a common problem in dysarthria.

Production of voiced phonemes through vocal-fold vibrations in the larynx

Q

Resonance

A

The quality of voice determined by the pharyngeal and velopharyngeal muscles, which control the shape of the vocal tract above the larynx, most crucially the degree to which the voice is transmitted through the oral cavity rather than the nasal cavity and vice versa. Excessive nasal transmission leads to a perception of hypernasality, frequently a problem in several types of dysarthria.

Proper placement of oral or nasal tonality onto phonemes during speech. Accomplished by raising and lowering of the velum.

Q

Oral resonance is produced when….

A

Velum is raised and closes off the nasal cavity from vocal air stream. Air stream is out through oral cavity

Q

Nasal resonance is produced when….

A

Velum is lowered and the oral cavity is blocked by the lips or tongue, directing air stream out through the nose.

Q

Articulation

A

The quality of voice determined by the pharyngeal and velopharyngeal muscles, which control the shape of the vocal tract above the larynx, most crucially the degree to which the voice is transmitted through the oral cavity rather than the nasal cavity and vice versa. Excessive nasal transmission leads to a perception of hypernasality, frequently a problem in several types of dysarthria.

Shaping of the vocal air stream into phonemes

Q

Prosody

A

The variations in pitch, loudness, and duration across syllables that help convey stress, emphasis, and emotion. They are a reflection of the combined activities of respiration, phonation, resonance, and articulation.

Melody of speech. Uses stress and intonation

Q

Characteristics of Flaccid Dysarthria

A

Muscle weakness that results in: breathy phonation, Imprecise consonants, hypernasality, shallow breath support, and abnormal prosody

19
Q

Causes of Spastic Dysarthria

A

Bilateral damage to the upper motor neurons of the pyramial an extrapyramidal systems; often caused by brainstem strokes

20
Q

Characteristics of Spastic Dysarthria

A

Spasticity and weakness in the speech musculature that results in harsh or strained-strangled phonation, imprecise consonants, hypernasality, and abnormal prosody
