A&P
This system includes the corticospinal and corticobulbar tracts.
Pyramidal System
This nerve controls tongue movement.
CN XII- Hypoglossal
Flaccid dysarthria is caused by damage to this motor neuron.
Lower Motor Neuron
Apraxia is characterized by this type of speech error.
This is one standardized tool for dysarthria assessment.
Frenchay
This structure coordinates smooth motor movement.
Cerebellum
This nerve controls the muscles of mastication.
CN V- Trigeminal
Spastic dysarthria is typically associated with damage to these tracts.
CAS stands for.
Childhood Apraxia of Speech
This assessment type look at speech in real time contexts.
Informal assessment
These are the two main motor neuron types.
This nerve is involved in velar movement and voice.
CN X- Vagus
This type of dysarthria is associated with cerebellar lesions.
Ataxic dysarthria
AOS is commonly caused by a stroke in this hemisphere.
Left hemisphere
Name one treatment task for flaccid dysarthria.
Respiratory support or strengthening exercises
extrapyramidal system
This nerve affects facial expression.
CN VII- Facial
Mixed dysarthria is most commonly associated with this condition.
ALS
Apraxia differs from dysarthria in this key way.
This tool is often used for AOS treatment.
PROMPT or MIT
This structure is involved in motor planning and is impaired in AOS.
Premotor cortex
Name all 6 cranial nerves involved in speech.
CN V, VII, IX, X, XI, XII
This type is linked to basal ganglia dysfunction.
Hypo/hyperkinetic dysarthria
These conditions often co-occur with apraxia.
Aphasia and dysarthria
List the 5 subsystems targeted in assessment
respiration, phonation, articulation, resonance and prosody
