Chapter 10a
The motor speech disorder associated with deficits in neuromuscular execution.
What is dysarthria?
The structure that is contained entirely within the CNS and has an origin in motor cortex and exit at the brain stem.
What is the upper motor neuron?
The bolus is formed in this phase of swallowing.
What is the oral prepatory phase?
The cranial nerve that is associated with hearing and balance.
What is the vestibulocochlear nerve?
The classification system for aided AAC systems.
What are no tech, low tech, mid tech, and high tech?
The part of the brain that controls the planning and programming of speech.
What is the motor cortex (or precentral gyrus)?
The motor speech disorder in which prosody is disrupted and speech errors become more frequent as speech becomes more complex.
What is apraxia of speech?
In this phase of swallowing, the bolus moves from the back of the tongue to the pharynx.
What is the pharyngeal phase?
The three small bones that make up the middle ear.
What are the incus, stapes, and malleus?
These signs are easily guessable, explainable, and memorable.
What are transparent signs?
The cranial nerve that provides motor input to the jaw.
What is the trigeminal nerve?
The motor speech disorder associated with Parkinson's disease.
What is hypokinetic dysarthria?
A problem that can occur when food enters the lungs.
What is aspiration pneumonia?
The type of hearing loss that arises when there is damage to the outer or middle ear.
What is a conductive hearing loss?
The selection method that involves individuals selecting an item by pointing with a finger, hand, head pointer, optical head pointer, activating a joystick, or through eye gaze.
What is direct selection?
The motor speech disorder that results from damage to the lower motor neuron.
What is flaccid dysarthria?
The most common type of cerebral palsy?
What is spastic cerebral palsy?
In this test, barium is coated onto or mixed into the food or beverage so that the movement of the bolus can be examined via X-ray.
What is a modified barium swallow study?
The intervention that is used to minimize communication difficulties associated with hearing loss.
What is aural rehabilitation?
Gestures and finger spelling are examples of this type of AAC system.
What is an unaided system?
The pediatric motor speech disorder that has articulatory groping and receptive language being better than expressive language.
What is childhood apraxia of speech?
The action of the basal ganglia's direct pathway.
What is starting movement?
The non-invasive test that identifies aspiration in 80-98% of patients.
What is the 3-oz water swallow test?
The lowest intensity (or sound) that a person can hear.
What is a hearing threshold?
The selection method that involves the client assembling a message through a series of switch activations in which choices are presented sequentially.
What is scanning?
