Question
Answer
What is Apraxia of Speech (AOS)   AOS is a motor speech disorder resulting from impairment in programming of sensorimotor commands for speech  
🗑
What are sensorimotor commands for speech?   the motor commands needed to position and move the muscles for volitional speech production.  
🗑
Can AOS occur without weakness or slowness?   AOS can occur without significant weakness or neuromuscular slowness.  
🗑
Can AOS occur without Aphasia   Yes. Whether or not AOS occurs with or without Aphasia depends on the lesion site.  
🗑
There are two kinds of AOS   Apraxia and Dyspraxia  
🗑
What is the difference between Apraxia and Dyspraxia?   Apraxia means without action and Dyspraxia means disordered action  
🗑
In Ideomotor apraxia there is disturbance in what?   the performance of individual movements or performance of movements  
🗑
With Ideomotor apraxia response is easier when   manipulating a real object or responding to a gestural command.  
🗑
Ideomotor apraxias include   limb apraxia nonverbal oral apraxia (which can co-exist with verbal apraxia) Verbal Apraxia (which is apraxia of speech)  
🗑
Neurological Basis for AOS   damage to left frontal lobe especially when near Broca’s area (that is why it often occurs with Broca’s Aphasia)  
🗑
AOS often occurs with   Broca’s Aphasia damage to left frontal lobe and with a UUMN dysarthria  
🗑
Motor planning / programming relates to the compiling of   motor commands for the production of phonetic segments and syllables at particular rates and with particular patterns of stress and prosody based on acoustic goals and feedback – Duffy  
🗑
What is the neurological ‘mechanism’ thought to control the programming and planning for speech   the Motor Speech Programmer  
🗑
What is the Motor Speech Programmer?   a concept of what must be in the brain in order to analyze the linguistic motor sensory and emotional information through neural connections with appropriate brain areas  
🗑
What does the Motor Speech Programmer do   turns information into neural code that represents muscular contractions necessary for speech  
🗑
Where might the Motor Speech Programmer be?   near the perisylvian area of the left hemisphere where it would have close associations with language and motor centers  
🗑
The existence of the Motor Speech Programmer is inferred because   humans can rapidly sequence speech movements and damage to this area disrupts the ability to carry out the tasks necessary for speech  
🗑
What are the etiologies for AOS?   any event that damages the ‘motor speech programmer’ such as injury to the perisylvian area of the Left hemisphere and also from injuries to two other areas: The Insula and the Basal Ganglia  
🗑
Etiologies for AOS percentage based   Vascular 58% (single Left hemisphere stroke 48%) followed by Degenerative 16% and TBI 15%  
🗑
Key Evaluative Tasks for AOS:   compare SMR to AMR! Conversational speech and reading. Repetition of complex multisyllabic words and sentences. But diff with severe cases…  
🗑
Key Evaluative Tasks for AOS for Severe Cases   compare SMR to AMR! Counting! Imitating simple CVC syllables! Singing!  
🗑
Speech Characteristics of AOS:   ARTICULATION AND PROSODY; inconsistent speech errors  
🗑
Confirmatory Signs for AOS   groping difficulty starting speech  
🗑
DOES MUTISM COUNT AS A CONFIRMATORY SIGN FOR AOS OR A POSSIBLE SPEECH CHARACTERISTIC?   ?  
🗑
In severe cases of AOS patients may be   mute or able to only produce a few stereotypic phrases.  
🗑
AOS Articulation Errors   substitutions are more common than distortions/omissions/additions but PLACEMENT ERRORS ARE MOST COMMON  
🗑
With AOS Articulation Errors   Fricatives and Affricates are more error prone than other sound classes and Clusters and Multisyllabics are error ridden.  
🗑
With AOS   automatic speech is better than novel utterances and speakers are often aware of errors.  
🗑
How does AOS affect Prosody???   Not clear how it affects it… but the rate of connected speech is slow there is equalized stress across syllables there are silent pauses and there is reduced pitch and loudness variations  
🗑
What are some other speech components of AOS?   voluntary respiration might be disrupted but reflexive is intact No significant resonance problems Phonation varies  
🗑
How does Phonation vary with AOS?   Mild-mod = no isolated phonation deficits but with SEVERE AOS voluntary phonation can be impaired…  
🗑
AOS IS SUPRA WHAT?   AOS is SUPRATENTORIAL  
🗑
Does AOS have neuromuscular alterations?   NO. There are no neuromuscular alterations with AOS.  
🗑
AOS is predominantly what?   AOS is predominantly an Articulation and Prosody disorder…  
🗑
With Dysarthria damage could be at   ANY ANATOMICAL LEVEL…  
🗑
With Dysarthria deviant speech characteristics are due to what kind of alterations?   Neuromuscular Alterations  
🗑
With Dysarthria what components of speech can be altered?   With Dysarthria ALL COMPONENTS OF SPEECH MAY BE AFFECTED.  
🗑
AOS is often associated with   Aphasia  
🗑
AOS has variable errors that can include   modality automaticity and linguistic  
🗑
With AOS there may be   GROPING  
🗑
What kind of oral mech exam do you find with AOS?   A NORMAL Oral Mech Exam with AOS  
🗑
With Dysarthria there isn’t usually a co-occurrence of   aphasia  
🗑
Dysarthria is consistent with regard to   speech characteristics across modality  
🗑
Dyarthria does NOT have   groping  
🗑
Spastic Dysarthria may present with   dysphagia drooling pseudobulbar affect and hyperactive reflexes  
🗑
AOS   does not have random uncontrolled movements like Hyperkinetic Dysarthria  
🗑
AOS has regular ______ and ABNORMAL...   AOS has regular AMRs and Abnormal SMRs. There is a mismatch between automatic speech and propositional speech and there is GROPING / attempts to correct.  
🗑
Ataxic Dysarthria has IRREGULAR ________ and NORMAL ________:   Ataxic Dysarthria has IRREGULAR AMRs but Normal SMRs. No groping no corrections.  
🗑
A person can have a PURE   apraxia or a pure aphasia and can have a COMBO of BOTH (which would no longer be pure)  
🗑
In pure apraxia   the pt.’s reading writing and A/C should be intact but aphasia will affect multiple language modalities.  
🗑
Apraxia Errors:   Anterior Brain Damage co-occurs with Broca’s Aphasia difficulty initiating speech results in disturbed prosody substitutions in phonemes and syllables are close but not quite right  
🗑
Literal Paraphrasias:   POSTERIOR brain damage co-exists with Wernicke’s Aphasia Normal prosody little difficulty initiating words substitutions far from intended sounds  
🗑
Not all individuals with AOS   are appropriate candidates for TX  
🗑
Patients need to understand   the rational of Tx  
🗑
Tx with AOS   repetitive and intensive drill work sequenced carefully to maintain a high success rate  
🗑
Patient in AOS treatment should learn to   monitor their own treatment  
🗑
Treatment with AOS should focus on   functional and useful words as soon as possible  
🗑
Absent or mild aphasia:   Meaningful stimuli can be used  
🗑
Moderate aphasia:   Treatment needs to improve both language and movement  
🗑
Severe aphasia:   Emphasis should be on language and communication  
🗑
Severe AOS:   Usually requires building speech up from basic units of sound and syllables using phonetic placement and derivation as well as imitation of carefully selected stimuli  
🗑
Moderate and mild AOS:   Will allow for typical treatment paradigms of imitation contrastive stress drill and systematic expansions of client control over planning and execution  
🗑
Therapy for the severe apraxic   If imitation is not possible try phonetic placement If not possible go to phonetic derivation beginning with whatever verbal or nonverbal movements the speaker can make  
🗑
Brown Initiating Phonation   cough shape into sigh or exhalation try humming or completing an automatic phrase upon phonation go to loudness and shape into vowels add m open/closed variations  
🗑
DAB Automatic Responses   1-10 days of week months of year prayers nursery rhymes commercials common expressions  
🗑
DAB Phonemic Drill:   m hum cv with vowels 20x each double the cvs cvc with same consonant real words same initial change final consonant two words begin with m two words end in m 2 words begin and end with m (Make them)  
🗑
Severe Apraxia:   Take inventory of spontaneous utterances and the conditions underwhich they are produced Try to get forceful and repetitive imitation of these utterances eliciting the longest meaningful stimulus possible  
🗑
Moderate to Mod Severe AOS   Contrastive stress drills Rosenbek’s 8-step continuum MIT cuing to pt cuing move away from imitation to narratives  
🗑
8 Step Continuum:   watch me/listen to me say in unison imitate after model imitate after silent model repeat independently read while looking read after visual prompt state in response to question state in role playing  
🗑
Melodic Intonation Therapy   singing accesses undamaged right hemisphere thus more intact melody rhythm with volitional speech sing words than work towards more natural prosody.  
🗑
Three levels in MIT   Elem singing and tapping together immediate repetition produce response to question Intermediate = delayed repetition Advanced = delayed repetition more like normal speech with 6 second delay. ‘  
🗑
ORLA   Oral Reading for Language in Aphasia ORLA Cherney graphemes to phonemes sentences and paras read aloud in unision then with clinician then independently pointing to words occurs  
🗑
PROMPT   Prompts for Restructuring Oral Muscular Phonetic Targets proprioceptive pressure and kinesthetic cues to sequence oral movements clinician acts as motor speech programmer  
🗑
AOS most commonly suggested principles   pair auditory and visual focus on transitional movement not individual phonemes use repetitive practice carefully consider hierarchy of stimuli use decreased rate gradually progress to normal rate  
🗑
Combine these three for apraxia   bottom up approach tactile gestural approach prompt tactile cueing prosodic approaches (MIT and Contrastive Stress)  
🗑
Motor Learning is   acquiring the ability for producing skilled action through experience and practice multifactor influences  
🗑
Some things that affect Motor Learning   motivation focused attention repetitive practice mass practice instead of distributed frequent sessions number and content of stimuli random versus blocked practice variability of practice feedback  
🗑
Conditions that help with AOS therapy   amount of practice mass versus distributed practice variability of practice and feedback these help with motor speech disorders!  
🗑
Random is better than   blocked  
🗑
Feedback helps with   generalization
