28
Q

Describe flaccid dysarthria

A

hyper nasality

deficits in automatic (reading, swallowing), reflexive (coughing), and voluntary (speech) movements

imprecise consonant productions

breathiness of voice

decreased loudness

monotone and slow rate of speech

common etiology: myasthenia graves, guillain-barre, ALS

29

A

Harsh

Strain-strangled

Low pitch

Slow rate

Pitch breaks

Slow and regular AMRs

30
Q

describe ataxia dysarthria

A

Irregular articulatory breakdowns (inconsistent)

Irregular AMRs

Excess and equal stress

Slow and inaccurate

Distorted vowels

“Drunken speech”

Poorly coordinate movement pattern

Scanning or staccato pattern of speech

Ataxic Gait

Friedrich’s Ataxia

31
Q

describe hypo kinetic dysarthria

Increased rate of speech with reduced intelligibility

Monopitch and monoloudness

Palilalia

Associated with basal ganglia pathology (Parkinson’s)

32
Q

What is AOS?

A

Apraxia of speech. A motor planning disorder, that primarily affects prosody and articulation

33
