True/false: Vowel prolongation is affected by one’s respiratory and phonatory abilities.
True
Stress testing would help detect which disorder?
Myasthenia gravis
The location of the lesion in the basal ganglia control circuit is likely to lead to which type of dysarthria?
Hypokinetic & Hyperkinetic
Which of the subsystems are examined in evaluation of spontaneous speech production? (choose all that apply)
Respiration, Phonation, Resonance, Articulation, Prosody
The type of motor speech disorder that may show excessive speech rate would be:
Hypokinetic dysarthria
Issues that may interfere with an ideal evaluation include the following (choose all that apply):
Time constraints, Lack of client cooperation, Language barrier
The following information does not belong in a case history section of your evaluation (choose all that apply):
The client presented with mild apraxia of speech. The client coughed on thin liquids during the evaluation. The client showed reduced articulatory precision for consonant sounds when reading the Grandfather Passage
True/false: In order to perform a valid motor speech exam, a person must use a complete formal test, such as the Frenchay Dysarthria Assessment (FDA).
False
True/false: For diadochokinetic rate, it is within normal limits for a person to have slower repetition of velar sounds than of bilabial sounds.
True
True/false: Comprehensibility assessment examines how much the person with the motor speech disorder understands his non-impaired communication partner in conversation.
False
Someone with a diagnosis of AOS will show difficulty with the following areas (choose all that apply):
Sequential motion rates for speech production, Articulation of multisyllabic utterances.
True/false: When addressing speech sound production for someone with AOS, work on speed and then on accuracy.
False
The most sensitive test within the motor speech exam from the options listed below to test for AOS is the following:
AMR/SMR testing
When choosing sounds to address in treatment for AOS, the order to consider would involve which considerations? Choose all that apply:
Oral/nasal distinctions before voicing distinctions, Bilabial sounds before velar sounds, Singletons before consonant clusters, High frequency words before low frequency words, Single syllable words before multisyllabic words, Stressed words before unstressed words
The following are some strategies to improve praxis for the person with moderate apraxia of speech (choose all that apply):
Repetition of the target, Phonetic placement, Minimal contrast practice, Use finger tapping to control rate, Use automatic speech tasks such as counting or singing, Tactile cues, Melodic intonation therapy
A person with AOS who also presents with aphasia is likely to present with which classification of aphasia?
Broca’s aphasia
A person with AOS from CVA may also present with dysarthria. The type of dysarthria likely to present with AOS is the following:
Unilateral upper motor neuron dysarthria
The reason for the presentation of AOS with aphasia and dysarthria is:
proximity of the location of the lesion to the areas that contribute to motor planning, language, and execution of movement
True/false: If a person presents with severe expressive aphasia, it will be difficult to determine the presence/severity of AOS in that individual.
True
List in order of amount of difficulty a person with AOS would struggle with the following:
1 Vocalizing in imitation
2 Counting to 10
3 Reading a simple passage
4 Conversing about previous work history
True/false: The PROMPT technique is an example for articulatory-kinematic (A-K) approaches.
True
True/false: A metronome, pacing board, hand/finger tapping or counting, and other intersytemic gestural rate control strategies can provide a temporal basis for organizing sequences of speech movements.
True
True/false: In AOS there are phonemic paraphasias.
False
True/false: Medications are often helpful to treat individuals with AOS.
False
