Q

What is neurplasticity?

A

the mechanism by which the brain encodes experience and learns new behaviors
and also the mechanism by which the damaged brain relearns lost behavior in response to rehabilitation

Q

Treatment: Repetition matters

A

LVST is a good model in voice.. they feel like they had a workout
Exact dosage hasn’t been determine yet, but if you look at exercise principles you will need higher reps

Q

Treatment: Intensity matters

A

Dosage data for intensity is currently unknown, working longer doesn’t mean harder but it can be overused too

Q

Treatment: Time matters

A

Q

Treatment: Salience matters

A
  • repetitive movements versus skilled movements
  • visual feedback may be important here, if you can make the connection for the patient visually they might work even harder

Q

Treatment: Age matters

A
  • Generally younger brains are more responsive to neuroplasticity than older ones, however, it occurs across a lifetime
  • Important for setting treatment goals, are they reasonable but challenging enough?

Q

What is important regarding referrals and. treatment?

A

Q

Who might we refer to?

A
  • Neurologist, OT, RT, ENT, GI, dentist, RD or another SLP
26
Q

Why do we use EBP?

A

27
Q

What are the types of treatment?

A
  • Medical
  • Surgical
  • Behavioral
  • Mixed
28
Q

Exercise principles

A
  • efforts that do not force the neuromuscular system behind the level of usual activity it will not elicit adaptations
  • adaptations occur to accommodate the increased demand
  • intensity
  • resistive loading
  • repetition
  • volume of practice
  • specificity
29
Q

Consistent Practice

A
  • Refers to repetitive practice on an unvarying task before moving to the next level
  • Blocked practice
30
Q

Variable practice

A
  • Same number of trials as blocked, but with randomization of tasks so the same task is not practiced on successive tasks
  • Random practice (harder tasks, better retention and generalization
31
Q

Speaker oriented treatment

A
  • respiration
  • phonation
