static or isometric exercise | muscle length and joint position do not change, leads to greater strength than dynamic or isotonic exercise |
isotonic exercise | muscle tension remains the same while muscle length changes |
dynamic exercise | leads to increase speed of contraction, greater maximum velocity of shortening muscle fibers, beneficial for speech because they mimic the muscle contraction needed for speech production |
task specific exercise | to improve speech production, use speech production task exercises (continuous positive airway pressure) |
overload | involves muscle being stimulated beyond a given level to achieve hypertrophy of muscles and recruitment of more motor units, leads to increase in strength, endurance, and power in muscle functioning, (NOT FOR SPEECH) |
How much strength does one need for speech production? | about 15% of total force |
Principles of Neuroplasticity | body activity competes for representation in brain, alteration in brain representation MAY be limited to the specific function being trained, brain reorganization will only occur with extensive prolonged practice, |
explain the principle of neuroplasticity: body part activity competes for representation in the brain | use it or lose it/ use it and improve it |
explain the principle of neuroplasticity: alteration in brain representation MAY be limited to the specific function being trained | non speech exercise may not help speech to improve |
explain the principle of neuroplasticity: influence of training on neural reorganization may be linked to time | reorganization may occur more earlier in the disease process |
explain the principle of neuroplasticity: relevant speech tasks may include plasticity to a greater extent than non relevant activity | practice slowing speaking rate to improve intelligibility compared to working on producing repetitive productions of non sense syllables |

what are the two levels of management decisions to consider when treating a client with dysarthria? | 1. decision regarding the goals of tx (severity of the function al limitation and the disability experienced) 2. decisions regarding the treatment approach to adopt (heavily dependent upon understanding the pattern of impairment |
typical areas of focus for SEVERE dysarthria | family education in their role, AAC to maximize S/L development, increase participation of the person in their environment, make tx decisions based on cognitive, linguistic, and motor limitations, the literacy needs of the child |
what information from assessment is used for planning treatment | nature of the impairment, identifying features that can be modified, identification of existing compensatory strategies, multiple approaches to intervention |
as an aerodynamic pressure source, what is the goal of the respiratory system? | maintain a relatively stable sub glottal pressure (5-10 cm H20) |
severe impairment of respiratory system | can adversely influence speech production to the extent that phonation may not be existent |
less severe impairment of the respiratory system | can influence the functioning go all other subsystems because of the central role respiration plays as the aerodynamic energy source |
what are the four areas to be focused on when evaluating the respiratory system? | air pressure (vary and control the pressure), lung volume (maintain pressure over time), airflow (control at the larynx), and respiratory shape (movement) |
what else should be considered when evaluating the respiratory system | the nature of the utterance the person is trying to produce |
how to measure air pressure | glass/water manometer, phonatory function analyzer, aerophone2, aerowin, phonatory aerodynamic system |
how to measure lung volume | spirometer like the aerophone2 (normative volume falls between 3.5-5 liters, volume has to be VERY reduced before it has an affect on ability to speak) |
how to measure airflow | have client phonate a vowel sound, flow volume (total act of air expelled during phonation of a word phrase or sentence), phonatory function analyzer, aerophone 2, aerowin, phonatory aerodynamic system |
how to measure respiratory shape | pneumograph, inductotrace, magnetometers (research) |
how might impairment in respiration influence speech intelligibility | loudness (too soft) and breath group lengths |
how might impairment in respiration influence speaking rate | breath group length affects it |
how might impairment in respiration influence naturalness | loudness (mono loudness or loudness decay) |
what are the four typical respiratory movement impairments in individuals with dysarthria? | reduced vital capacity (below 60%), inconsistent lung volume, inappropriate lung volume, excessive lung volume |
treatment for respiration focuses on what 3 main areas | establishing respiratory support, stabilizing respiratory patterns (eliminate maladaptive behaviors), and increase respiratory flexibility |
what is involved in establishing respiratory support | helps the pt to generate the sub glottal pressure they need to develop inspiratory and expiratory respiratory drive for speech |
what signs indicate a need for stabilizing respiratory patterns | may have the clavicular breathing or paradoxical breathing |
who might benefit from stabilizing respiratory patterns? | initiates speaking at; too high/low lung volume, w/o initial inhalation, initiates breath groups with wrong amt of lung volume, utterances are too loud/soft, speaks into his/her residual volume (loudness decay, bad voice quality) |
how would you stabilize respiratory support for a client with near normal inspiratory muscle function and weak expiratory muscles? | train them to breath in near 60% of VC prior to initiation of phonation to take advantage of passive respiratory muscle forces |
what tools can be used as biofeedback for training targeted lung volumes | spirometer and the inductotracecan |
when do you use inspiratory checking? | when the pt cant maintain the breath for the length of the utterance they are wanting to say |
what is inspiratory checking? | take in too much air and through passive forces there is too much pressure and need to lower the pressure by slowing the contraction of the lungs by turning on the inspiratory muscles, will slow down the natural compression of letting the system fall |
how would you increase respiratory flexibility? | heighten awareness of the breathing process, practice reading scripts where correct pause placement is marked, then practice pause use in conversation |
when should you work on increasing respiratory flexibility (what pt signs) | stereotypic (limited variation) of breath group lengths, never pauses w/o taking a breath, unable to manage a quick inhalation needed to support short breath group utterances |
