Neurogenic Communication Disorders Flashcards
Speech based disorders
Apraxia of speech
Dysarthria
Childhood apraxia of speech
Language based disorders
Aphasia
Cognitive linguistic impairment
Language of confusion
Language of general intellectual impairment
Dysarthria
Group of speech disorders resulting from disturbances in muscular control that causes weakness, slowness, and incoordination of the speech mechanism because of CNS and/or PNS dysfunction
Involvement of respiration, phonation, resonation, articulation, and prosody
Types of dysarthria
Spastic Flaccid Hypo kinetic Hyperkinetic Ataxic Unilateral upper motor neuron Mixed
Assessment for dysarthria
The assessment of intelligibility of dysarthric speakers
Frenchay dysarthria assessment
Trigeminal nerve
S- jaw, face, mouth, any feeling in lips, gums, mouth
M- jaw, soft palate, masseur muscle
Facial
S- taste anterior 2/3, mucous mem of soft palate and pharynx
M- face muscles, lips, smile, pucker, close eyes, wrinkle forehead
Glossopharyngeal
S- taste posterior 1/3, mucous mem of the pharynx, middle ear, and mouth
M- pharynx
Vagus
S- mucous mem of pharynx, larynx, soft palate, tongue, lungs
M- pharynx and larynx
Hypoglossal
M- intrinsic m of tongue
The WHO model
Body structure
Body function
Activity/participation
Contextual factors
Motor execution
Processing responsible for activating relevant muscles during the movements used in speech production
Motor planning
Refers to the process that defines and sequences articulatory goals prior to their occurrence
Motor programming
Establish and prepare flow of motor info across muscles for speech production and specifying the timing and force required for the movements
Categorizing neurogenic speech disorders
I - age of onset - acquired or congenital
II - status - acute or chronic
III - course of the disorder - static v progressive v exacerbating
IV - site of lesion - CNS v PNS, bilateral v unilateral, diffuse v focal
V - neurologic diagnosis - VITAMIN D
Causes of neurogenic communication disorders
V - vascular accident I - infectious process T - traumatic insults A - allergic/anoxic reaction M - metabolic disorder I - idiopathic disorder N - neoplasm D - degenerative disease
Spastic dysarthria
Excessive muscle tone Strained/strangled voice quality Hypernasality Slow rate mono pitch/low pitch short phrases
Flaccid dysarthria
Hypotonia Hypoactive reflexes Hypernasality Breathy voice quality/mono loudness/mono pitch Short phrases
Hyperkinetic dysarthria
Variable muscle tone Sudden/irregular respiratory patterns Sudden changes in pitch, loudness and voice quality Inappropriate phrasing Damage to basal ganglia Huntingtons disease
