WITH COMPLETE SOLUTIONS GRADED A++
a patient can have apraxia of speech, dysarthria, and dysphagia
simultaneously
speech apraxia
Impaired ability to plan, sequence, coordinate, and initiate motor movements of
articulators
Dysarthria
-Neurological speech disorder of articulatory, resonatory, phonatory, or respiratory
systems
-Neurologic basis can be muscle weakness, paralysis, or incoordination
dysarthria and speech apraxia often accompanied by ________
dysphagia (difficulty swallowing)
what is the first sign of a neurological disease
disordered speech
what do neurological impairments affect
- Motor planning, programming, neuromuscular control, or execution of speech
- Have a sensory component (should be thought of as sensorimotor—not just motor)
, - Can occur alone or with aphasia or cognitive impairments
apraxia of speech
a deficit in the neural motor planning or programming of the articulator muscles for
voluntary movements for speech in the absence of muscular weakness; primarily affects
articulation and prosody.
causes:
- damage around Broca's area
- occurs often with Broca's aphasia
-Impaired ability to plan, sequence, coordinate, and initiate voluntary motor movements
of articulators
oral apraxia
articulators (e.g., blowing through the lips, clicking the tongue, protruding tongue
hallmark for apraxia of speech
inconsistently/ highly variable articulation errors
Neuromuscular disorders commonly associated with dysarthria
Parkinson's Disease
Myasthenia gravis
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)
Multiple sclerosis (MS)
6 types of dysarthria
