Q

UMN contralateral vs. bilateral

A

corticospinal; corticobulbar (esp. head and neck); EXCEPTIONS: CN VII–upper face receives bilateral corticobulbar/UMN input and lower face receives contralateral UMN; CN XII–receives mostly contralateral corticobulbar

20
Q

UMN and LMN damage

A

spasticity, weakness, hyper-reflexia; hypotonicity, atrophy, hyporeflexia, weakness (voluntary and automatic), fasciculations

21
Q

direct pathway damage

A

weakness and loss of skilled movement, hyporeflexia, Babinski, decreased muscle tone

22
Q

indirect pathway damage

A

spasticity, clonus, hyperactive stretch reflexes, increased muscle tone

23
Q

unilateral UMN vs. LMN damage

A

UMN: spastic paresis of contralateral genioglossus=reduced ROM, no fasciculations, tongue deviates to opposite side of lesion; LMN: flaccid paresis or low muscle tone with atrophy, reduced ROM, fasciculations, tongue deviates to side of lesion

24
Q

MSD eval consists of

A

background/hx; oral mech/DDK/nonverbal oral apraxia/AOS; resp.-laryng. integrity; articulation; auditory-perceptual characteristics and intelligibility

25
Q

AMR vs. SMR

A

repetition of single syllable (alternating motion rate) vs. syllable sequence (sequential motion rate); both should be 5-7x/sec. for adults

26
Q

Can you use DDK rate (syll./sec.) to make inferences about speed or regularity of tongue movement for speech?

A

No

27
Q

low tech manometer used to

A

assess breath support (cup with straw)

28
Q

vowel prolongation (normal)

A

about 8 seconds

29
Q

things to look for in articulation

A

precision, rate and rhythm, coordination, intelligibility (perceptual), instrumental

30
Q

cognitive linguistic load in assessing speech from low cog. ling. load to high

A

non-speech–monologue–conversation

31
Q

intelligibility vs. comprehensibility

A

degree to which listener understands acoustic signal (fx impairment: adequate for communication?); intelligibility PLUS other contributing contextual information (disability: impact on daily life)

32
Q

ways to test intelligibility

A

interval scaling/percent estimates; PCC (children); transcription; Direct Magnitude Estimation (weird scale thing–more for research, requires modulus, more for global severity measures, better with groups), Visual Analog Scale, published tests

33
Q

considerations for instrumental testing

A

sensitivity to dysarthria, relevance to fx comm., measure reflective of movement characteristics, feasibility of application and interpretation

34
