VFSS video fluoroscopic swallow study
Modified Barium Swallow
F.A.S.T
Face, Arms, Speech, and Time
When children know exactly what they want to say, but they cannot move their lips and tongue to produce the target sounds.
Apraxia
Childhood Apraxia of Speech
A type of aphasia leaving a patient groping for the right words.
This cranial nerve controls chewing. (Hint: Provides the innervation to the maxillary and mandibular areas)
Trigeminal V cranial nerve
The swallowing mechanism involves four stages: oral _______, ___________, pharyngeal, and ________.
Oral preparatory, Oral, Pharyngeal, Esophageal
This memory skill or function involves remembering and followed a sequence of more complex tasks.
Executive Functioning Skills
What systems of speech production are impacted by dysarthria?
Respiratory, Phonatory, Articulatory
A type of aphasia with the patient saying many words at a time that mean absolutely nothing.
Receptive - Fluent Aphasia
This cranial nerve controls your smile.
Facial nerve CN VII
This is when food passes through the vocal cords and right into the airway.
This is another word for word finding difficulties.
Anomia
This diagnosis comes with muscle weakness of the articulators.
Dysarthria
This stroke happens in the left posterior frontal lobe.
Broca's aphasia
This cranial nerve controls our vocal cords and our swallow?
Vagus X cranial nerve
This is when we see, smell, feel hungry when we are around food and getting ready to eat.
Oral preparatory phase
Increased loss of working memory, minimal conversational speech, diminished vocabulary, and at times inappropriate behavior are characteristics of Stage II of this disease.
Alzheimer's Disease
This diagnosis comes with disrupted planning/programming of muscles for speech production.
Apraxia
This stroke happens in the left superior temporal lobe.
Wernicke's aphasia
This cranial nerve provides the primary motor innervation to the tongue.
The Hypoglossal Nerve (CN XII)
When someone has difficulty in the trigger of a swallow, it involves this phase.
Pharyngeal phase
Sticking to one topic at a time, using short/simple sentences, speaking slowly, and allowing a person to ask questions are strategies for patients with __________________ .
Dementia
This is a beside evaluation to screen a patient's speech production and the strength/range of motion of articulators.
Oral-Peripheral Exam
Communication techniques to assist a person who has had a stroke and struggling with receptive and expressive language include speaking clearly, not getting frustrated, ______________, and __________.
