|
|
Term
| Apraxia co-occurs with which neurological problem |
|

| Etiologies of Apraxia of Speech (AOS) |
|
Definition
- damage to the left perisylvian area
- stroke
- degenerative disease
- trauma
- tumor in left frontal lobe |
|
|
Term
| Speech characteristics of AOS |
|
Definition
- primarily articulation AND prosody
- labored an halting
- artic groping
- usually severe to profound |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
- substitution
- fricatives and affricates more common
- consonant clusters
- initial position more likely
- inconsistent errors |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
- slower rate of speech
- equal stress of all syllables
- silent pauses (due to groping)
- normal variations of pitch and loudness reduced |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| - may not be able to take a deep breath on command |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
- some velar movements may be inconsistent on repetitive movements
- can be an intermittent problem |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
- difficulty initiating sound (laryngeal apraxia)
- difficulty prolonging vowel |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
Apraxia Aphasia
anterior damage posterior damage
disturbed prosody normal prosody
difficulty initiating no initiation problems
close substitutions substitutions way off |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
- intensive one-on-one
- time-intensive
- repetitive
- highly structured
* to help regain control |
|
|
Term
| Who wouldn't be good candidates for AOS treatment? |
|
Definition
| someone with too much aphasia (not good at following commands) |
|
|
Term
| General Tx Princples of AOS |
|
Definition
- repetitive and intensive drill work is essential (no time for games)
- tx sequenced to maintain high success rate
- teach pt to monitor own speech
- functional words |
|
|
Term
| Role of oral-motor "exercises" with AOS |
|
Definition
| not a strengthening task, but a coordination/sequencing task |
