A client presenting with resonance disturbance secondary to a spastic dysarthria would present with a velopharyngeal
incompetence and dysfunction
A noninvasive microcomputer-based system that measures the relative amount of oral-to-nasal acoustic energy in an individual’s speech is the
Nasometer II
Many younger children with VP problems exhibit sound
A. omissions
B. substitutions
C. compensatory errors
D. all of the above
D. All of the above
Developing greater oral openness is assoicated with this type of treatment of hypernasality
Open Mouth approach
These provide the source of vibration that gives rise to complex sound waves
Vocal folds
The velopharyngeal port is open for these types of sounds
nasals
Pressure transducers and Phonatory Aerodynamic Systems are instruments for measuring
air flow
The word “man” produced by a child with hyponasality would most likely be perceived as
A. nam
B. pam
c. bad
d. tap
C. bad
This treatment of hypernasality focuses on the facial mask area
The Focus approach
Hypernasality would most easily be detected using these types of sounds
low pressure consonants and vowels
Bifid uvula, A-shaped defect in the velum and a thin soft palate are all signs of a
submucosal cleft
This is the “gold standard” for assessment of the velopharyngeal mechanism
Nasoendoscopy
Speakers with increased nasalization demonstrate a more prominent _____ formant with an increase in formant bandwith
A. first
B. Second
C. Third
C. Third
The use of respiration training for treatment of hypernasality involves
increased loudness
Hypernasality and nasal air emissions are assessed using differenct tasks.
True or False?
True. Hypernasality is assessed with low pressure consonants and vowels and nasal emissions are assessed with high pressure consonants.
A cleft of the secondary palate affects structures anterior to the incisive foramen.
True of False?
False
Direct visualization of the velopharynx by endoscope can be achieved by
Misarticulations secondary to dentition and/or occlusion are called
obligatory misarticulations
Learning to hear the differences between nasal and oral resonances involves this type of feedback
auditory
Dr. Eaton and Dr. Grzina are the best professors you've ever had.
True or False
True. Becauses obviously.
A postive fogging mirror test during non-nasal phonomenes is a definitive indicator of velopharyngeal insufficiency.
True or False?
False
During a perceptual assessment of speech you observe a shift in resonance when occluding and unoccluding the nostrils during sustained production of /i/. This is indicative of
velopharyngeal insufficiency
Hyponasality of nasal sounds and hypernasality on oral sounds is called
mixed resonance
First line treatment for velopharyngeal insufficiency is
surgical intervention
Individuals with hypernasality are increased risk of hoarseness associated with vocal hyperfunction.
True or False?
True
