Week 3, Quiz 1 Flashcards
When would the pharyngeal stage likely start to come back for someone who had a unilateral CVA to the medulla?
the second week of recovery
What would a pontine CVA result in?
hypertonicity
What would the hypertonicity from a pontine CVA a result in?
delay or absence of the pharyngeal swallow (reduced LE)
What cranial nerves come from the pons?
5, 6, 7, 8
What would you likely see for someone with a left hemisphere CVA?
- some apraxia of swallowing
- oral delays more significant than pharngeal
What are the likely delay times of a left hemisphere CVA for oral and pharyngeal stages?
- oral 3-5 seconds
- pharyngeal 2-3 seconds
What can help reduced oral and pharyngeal patients with cerebral CVA?
sensory stimulation
What are more significant in right hemisphere CVAs, oral delay or pharyngeal delay
pharyngeal delay
What are the delay times for pharyngeal and oral stages of a right hemisphere CVA?
- oral: 2-3 seconds
- pharyngeal 3-5 seconds
What are some techniques that may be helpful for right hemisphere CVA?
- chin tuck
- sensory stimulation
- supraglottic maneuver
Why are patients with right CVA likely to have trouble getting through therapy?
- cognitive linguistic deficits are often present
- anosagnosia (lack of recognition in deficits)
When is spontaneous recovery the best with a stroke?
first three weeks
How far apart should you space MBSSs?
no sooner than two weeks together
define trismus
inadequate jaw movement
what is mucositus?
thick ropey secretions
What causes mucositis?
dry mouth
Why is kyphosis?
stooped posture
define passive aspiration
aspiration that occurs after the swallow (likely during dry swallows to clear bolus)
What are some symptoms of cervical spinal cord injury for swallow?
- pharyngeal delay
- reduced LE
- reduced BOT-R
When will someone with a cervical spinal cord injury have reduced sensation?
if the injury is as high as c1 or c2
what might you have to do if a patient is wearing a collar during MBSS?
tilt the patient to one hip
What can you do if patient can’t do postural techniques because of a collar?
sensory techniques or manuevers
Where does the metal plate go for a cervical spine fusion?
directly behind the pharynx
What will patients with cranial nerve injury to 9 have problems with?
the trigger of the swallow
What can patients with CN damage benefit from?
aggressive ROM exercises
Explain pleasure feedings
use one or two safe consistencies and allow the patient to take in small amounts. consider alternate means of hydration and nutrition
What can alzheimers patients have in terms of swallowing?
- agnosia for food
- slow to open mouth
- may hold bolus in the mouth for several minutes
What can alzheimers patients benefit from?
sensory stimulation (spoon pressure)
When is hydration and nutrition compromised for people with dementia?
when mealtime becomes prolonged
What are some typical symptoms of swallowing disorder for alzheimers patients?
- pharyngeal delay
- reduced LE
- reduced BOT-R
Explain multi-infarct dementia
multiple small strokes; the location of the strokes cuts off communication between the cortex and the brain stem
What part of the brain controls oral phase?
cortex
