Physiology Of Articulation Flashcards
Instrumentation in articulation
SEMG
Spectrogram
Nasometer
Phemotachograph
sEMG
Surface electomyography
Electrodes on the skin of the surface in order to read gross motor movement or potentials as the muscles move
Spectrogram
Measures speech by plotting sounds
Nasometer
Measures acoustic output of the nose
Helpful in determining the pharyngeal insufficiency because it can determine if a person has VPI
Phemotachograph
Measures air flow from the nose and from the mouth
Mandible elevators
Temporalis
Masseter
Medial pterygoid
Mandible depressors
Digastric
Mylohyoid
Geniohyoid
Lateral pterygoid
Cephalochoduli
From head to toe….haed develops more rapidly than legs
Proximodistally
Medial to distal. So we develop from the core outward
Posterior tongue control happens before anterior tongue control
Posterior tongue control is for sucking, anterior is for speech production
Gross motor before
Fine motor
Differentiation motor control
Increasingly complex, blends into articulatory activity
Rooting reflex
Important for baby to eat
Stroke baby’s cheek and the baby should immediately turn to whichever side the cheek was stroked
Gripping reflex
Grasp is enough to support their own weight
Toe curling reflex
Stroking the inner or outer sole of the infant’s foot causes the toes to splay
Moro or startle reflex
Sudden noise or movement causes the infant to throw their head back and extend arms and legs and cry
Gallant reflex
Stroke the infant’s lower back next to the spinal cord, they will curve towards the side that was stroked and look like a fencer doing it
