quiz 4 Flashcards
spastic dysarthria effects which subsystems
any or all
not confined to a single component
SD is predominantly a problem of
- neuromuscular execution
- not planning programming or control
clinical features of SD
excessive muscle tone and weakness (resistance to movement)
direct activiation pathways also known as
pyramidal and extra pyramidal
-form part of the UMN system
direct pathways consist of
corticobulbar and corticospinal tracts
direct pathways are
- bilateral
- facilitatory (impulses sent through them tend to lead to movement which are SKILLED AND DISCRETE MOVEMENTS)
etiologies of SD
- degenerative (ALS, motor neuron disease)
- vascular (stroke, anoxic encephalopathy)
- congenital (CP)
- demylinating (MS)
- undetermined
Spasticity and weakness affect
-speed
-range
-force
of movement
ataxic dyarthria predominantly reflects..
problems with motor CONTROL
ataxic dysarthria can affect which subsystems
and or all
-MOST EVIDENT IN ARTIC AND PROSODY
etiologies of ataxic dysarthria
AND process that damages the cerebellum or cerebellar control circuit
-degenerative, demyelinating, vascular, tumor, traumatic, toxic/metabolic/endocrine, undertermined, multiple, other
clinical features of ataxic dysarthria
- incoordination and reduced muscle tone appear responsible for slowness of movement and inaccuracy in force, range, timing, and direction of speech movements
- people often complain of slurred, drunken speech
- complaints of dysphagia and drooling are infrequent
most distinctive cues of ataxic dysarthria
- irregular articulatory breakdowns
- irregular speech AMRs (alternating motion rates)
- excessive and equal stress
- distorted vowels
- excess loudness variation
hypokinetic dysarthria manifests in which subsystems
any or all
MOST EVIDENT IN VOICE, ARTIC, AND PROSODY
hypoK dysarthria reflects effects of…
- rigidity
- reduced force and range of movement
- slow individual and sometimes repetitive movements of speech
- DECREASED RANGE OF MOVEMENT
hypoK dysarthria results from..
damage to the basal ganglia control circuit pathway
hypoK dysarthria etiologies
-degenerative, vascular, traumatic, infectious, inflammatory, neoplastic, toxic and metabolic diseases
MOST COMMON CAUSE IS PD
(go back and read more about hypoK)
hyperkinetic dysarthria manifests in which subsystems
-any or all
MOST EVIDENT IN PROSODY AND RATE
Hyperkinetic dysarthria results from
- damage to basal ganglia control circuit
- destruction of sub thalamic nucleus causes reduced inhibitory output from BG which results in increased thalamic and subsequent cortical firing
hyperkinesia
abnormal or excessive involuntary movements
hyperkinetic dysarthria deviant speech characteristics
-abnormal rhythmic or irregular and unpredictable, relic or slow involuntary movements
hyper
EXTRA
dyskinesias
abnormal involuntary movements regardless of etiology
orofacial dyskinesias
involuntary orofacial movements that can occur without hyperkinesias elsewhere in the body
myoclonus
involuntary single or repetitive brief lightening-like jerks of a body part
QUICK AND REPETITIVE
-cannot be inhibited willfully
-can be induced by various stimuli or spontaneously
-associated with epilepsy
action myoclonus (AM)
-induced by volitional muscle activity and is less generalized than other forms
palatopharyngolaryngeal myoclonus (PM)
-abrupt, rhythmic, or semi rhythmic uni or bilateral movements of the sort palate, pharyngeal walls and laryngeal muscles
chorea
full limb jerking movements
- non repetitive
- involuntary
- can be response to drugs or during pregnancy
- degenerative (huntington’s chorea)
dystonia
-involuntary abnormal postures resulting from excessive cocontraction of agonist and antagonist muscles
dystonia results from
-abnormailities in the basal ganglia, cerebellum, and dopaminergic system
dystonia reflects impaired inhibition resulting from…
-abnormalities of somatosensory processing and integration
cervical dystonia (spasmodic torticollis)
- segmental dystonia characterized by tonic or clones spasms of the neck muscles especially in sternocleidomastoid and trapezius
- BG disorder
tonic spasm
prolonged or continuous
clonic spasms
repetitive, rapid in onset and brief in duration
most common involuntary movement
tremor
tremor involves..
-rhythmic/periodic movements of a body part
resting tremor
occurs when the body part is in repose (rest)
