Historical Figures
The 19th century neurologist credited for identifying the temporal lobe as the site of speech-language comprehension.
Carl Wernicke
Lee Silverman Voice Therapy is most commonly used to address dysarthria associated with ______________ and focuses on helping these patients produce a ___________.
Parkinson's disease; loud voice
This type of dysarthria is characterized by prosodic abnormalities (e.g., inappropriate pitch variation, inappropriate phoneme prolongation and excess loudness variation)
Chorea
Ataxia
This type of dysarthria is the result of LMN damage to either cranial nerves or spinal nerves affecting speech
Flaccid dysarthria
The mid 20th century American that established the taxonomy of motor speech disorders.
Fred Darley
The motor behaviors generally assessed in both non-speech and speech motor function tasks.
Strength, Range of motion, Steadiness and Speech
The type of dysarthria is distinguished by articulatory errors (e.g., irregular articulatory breakdowns, imprecise consonants, and distorted vowels)
Dystonia
Parkinson's disease is associated with _________ as Huntington's is most commonly associated with __________.
Hypokinetic dysarthria; Hyperkinetic dysarthria
The type of dysarthria that results from bilateral upper motor neuron damage
Spastic dysarthria
The person credited for with the first descriptions of apraxia, specifically limb apraxia.
Hugo Liepmann
The four types of tasks that constitute Kent's taxonomy.
non-speech task, simplified speech task, citation task, and connected speech task
The four tremors often associated with various types of dyarthrias are
resting, action, intentional and vocal
The two dysarthria's characterized by slow DDK's with irregularities in rate, rhythm and and loudness
Ataxic and Hyperkinetic
The motor speech disorder that commonly co-occurs with motor aphasias (e.g., Broca's) and dysarthria (i.e., Spastic) is
Apraxia of speech
The early 20th century neuropsychologist who developed theories about studying aphasia that are still influential today.
Alexander Luria
The difference between intelligibility and comprehensibility is...
comprehensibility includes contextual factors and consideration of listeners background
A characteristic defined as abnormal muscle weakness with use, and recovery with rest, related to damage at the acetylcholine receptors at the neuromuscular junction
70 y.o. male presented with 8 mos hx speech difficulties and dysphagia which have continued to progress gradually. At the conversational level speech is remarkable for reduced rate, monoloudness, monopitch, strain strangled voice and evident hypernasality. The SLP's is likely to diagnose the man with...
Spastic dysarthria
Left middle cerebral artery occlusions are the most common cause of infarcts that result in
Unilateral Upper Motor Neuron dysarthria
The 3 historical figures known for their research and knowledge about localization of function of the brain.
Paul Broca, Carl Wernicke, and Wilder Penfield
The strategies used for individuals with reduced intelligibility but are 100% dependent of speech
practice varying prosody, reduce speaker's rate of speech, and improve speech clarity (over-articulate consonants, big mouth movements)
A type of slow hyperkinesia characterized by the inability to maintain a body part in a single position because of slow, writhing, purposeless movements that tend to flow into one another.
Athetosis
A 55 y.o. women was admitted to the hospital for a stroke that resulted in unilateral facial weakness, drooling, mild dysphagia. Her speech is characterized by slow rate, slow/imprecise AMR's, and imprecise productions of consonants, The SLP's likely diagnosis is
Unilateral Upper Motor Neuron dysarthria
Lesion in the basal ganglia control circuit can result in these two types of dysarthria
Hyperkinetic and Hypokinetic
