Neurogenic Comm Dis

Test 4

QuestionAnswer
Right Hemisphere Deficits - inferences - abstract & concrete words - story arrangement - comp. of spoken narratives - pragmatics
Verbosity can't read a room and talks too much
Pragmatic Deficits RHD - reduced eye contact - poor turn taking - decreased convo initiation
Semantic Processing Deficits RHD - lack of understanding metaphorical meanings
Aprosodia reduction or absence of normal pitch, loudness, intonation and rhythm
Flat Affect severely reduced emotional expression
Cognitive Linguistic Deficits - problem solving - reasoning - judgement - sequencing
Neglect failure to report, respond, or orient to stimuli to the side opposite of the brain injury
Constructional Impairment attention, perception, and neglect - difficulty copying designs or reproducing figures
Anosognosia real or feigned inability to perceive a deficit
Prosopagnosia inability to recognize faces including their own
Coprolalia involuntary obscenities
Emotional Liability rapid exaggerated mood changes - caused by damage between brainstem and frontal lobe
R Parietal Lesion (Neglect) - perceptual aspects of scanning and attention - reading difficulties
R Frontal Lobe Lesion (Neglect) - motor aspects or visual scanning - visual orientation - spatial issues
R Thalamic Lesion (Neglect) - difficulty engaging attention toward stimuli - selective attention deficits
R Basal Ganglia Lesion (Neglect) - extinction - visual scanning issues
Hemianopia - visual field cut - most common on contralateral side to lesion
Operations of Attention - arousal - orientation - vigilance - maintaining selective/divided attention
Convergent Semantic Processing - auditory comp - word retrieval
Divergent Semantic Processing - collective naming - lexical judgements - verbal fluency - inferences - alternative meanings - excessive/reduced output
RHD Prognosis Influences - age - time of entering therapy - damage - family and support - attitude/motivation - physical condition and overall health
Task Orientated Treatment Approaches - teaches a specific task for immediate functional gain - immediate needs of pt addressed - targets symptoms
Process Orientated Treatment Approaches - uses intact processes to compensate for deficits - stimulates recovery of impaired processes - no immediate affects - causes are addressed over symptoms
Compensatory Strategies - tries to generalize skills - targets underlying processes
Facilitation Techniques - recovery of the process - manipulates the stimulus to enable patients to make a maximal response - minimal error rate - provide immediate feedback - elicit responses but do not force them
Compensatory Prosody - ask CP or pt to explicitly state emotions or feelings
Compensatory Attention - writing down distractions - minimize environmental factors
Compensatory Memory - lists - note-taking - calendars - photos - internal strategies - journals
Compensatory Reasoning/Problem Solving - brainstorming webs - devices to stay on task - environmental modifications
Causes of TBI - MVC - gunshot wounds - sports injuries - injuries at workplace - abuse - seizures - lack of oxygen - poisoning - strokes/blood clots
Primary Damage of TBI - initial impact
Secondary Damage of TBI - infection - hypoxia - infarction - intracranial pressure increase
Open-Head Injury - meninges are torn or lacerated
Closed-Head Injury - meninges are intact
Diffuse Axonal Injury (DAI) - shearing forces - very severe
Symptoms/Deficits of TBI - dysphagia - language - motor speech - sensory - perceptual - voice - cognition
Tracking RHD Progress - NOMS - Rancho Los Amigos Scale
The Brief Test of Head Injury assess... - orientation - attention - aud comp - linguistic organization - reading comp - naming - memory - visuospatial skills
The Scales of Cognitive Ability for TBI assess... - perception - discrimination - orientation - organization - recall - reasoning
Focused Attention - one specific stimuli
Sustained Attention - consistent attention during continuous/repetitive tasks
Selective Attention - distracting/competing stimulus
Alternating Attention - flexibility to shift from one stimuli to another
Divided Attention - ability to respond simultaneously to a task or multiple task demands
Pre-Traumatic Amnesia - retrieval proceses
Post-Traumatic Amnesia - storage of memories
Goal of RHD Intervention - achieve the highest level of independent functioning - capitalize on strengths to address weaknesses - facilitate activities to acquire new skills and strategies - modify environment and contextual factors
Cog Rehab Models 1. direct instruction (emphasized specific skills) 2. strategy based (self monitoring) 3. combined model (reinforcement and modelling)
Instructional Model - errorless learning - breaks into small tasks - model and discourage guessing - correct the pt's errors examples: massed drills, spaced retrieval, and chaining
Tx of Severe Impairments 1. present stimulus to engage attention and tracking 2. orientation overload 3. multi-sensory stimuli 4. oral stim
Tx of Moderate Impairments: Perception - large print - pointing or requesting - selecting appropriately - requesting - copying - following simple commands - object naming
Tx of Moderate Impairments: Organization - categorizing - grouping - meaningful units - semantic use - conversations - stories - sequencing - pronouns
Tx of Moderate Impairments: Discrimination - increased complexity - stimulus size and language
Tx of Moderate Impairments: Recall/Memory - strategies - internal and external aids
Tx of Moderate Impairments: Reasoning/Problem Solving - concrete to abstract - mathematics - analogies
Tx of Mild-Late Stage: Executive Functioning - break down complex tasks - written instructions and schedules - establish consistent routines - train CP - keep possessions in consistent places - organize work space - set time limits - check off lists - alarms - daily log, sticky notes
Tx of Mild-Late Stage: Lang. & Discourse Problems - scripts - note taking - watch others for feedback - practice telling stories - rehearsal - alert others to shifting topic - watch others' facial expressions
Tx of Mild-Late Stage: Attention Deficits - reduce distractions - avoid interruptions - get enough sleep/exercise - avoid crowds - watch for fatigue - ask for help
Confabulation the production or creation of false or erroneous memories without the intent to deceive
Concussion Management 1. return to work/play plans 2. treat lingering symptoms 3. enlist appropriate professionals 4. make accommodations 5. outpatient therapy
Frontal Lobe RHD - attention - impulsivity - working memory - limbic emotions (fight or flight) - emotions
Parietal Lobe RHD - prosody - behavioural changes - left neglect - memory connections - semantics and groupings - construction
Occipital Lobe RHD - vision cuts - prosopagnosia
Temporal Lobe RHD - processing others emotions - rhythm and music - long term memory - prosody and intonation
