Document Summary

Motor speech disorders: disorders resulting from neurologic impairment affecting the motor programming or neuromuscular execution of speech. Non-neurogenic speech disturbances: musculoskeletal defects, laryngectomy, clp, fractures, non-neurogenic/non-psychogenic voice disorders, psychogenic disorders, schizophrenia, depression, conversion disorder. Characterizing motor speech disorders: age of onset, course, congenital, chronic or stationary, improving, progressive or degenerative, exacerbating- remitting, site of lesion, neurologic diagnosis, pathophysiology, speech components involved, severity, perceptual characteristics. Ataxia: results from cerebellar control circuit dysfunction, slowness and inaccuracy, force, range, timing, direction, = difficulty with coordination of movement, signs of cerebellar lesions, hypotonia, slow voluntary movements. Increased rate = hallmark: key to identifying, accelerated rate, monopitch, tremor/masked face. Infrarction of the posterior limb of internal capsule or pons or corona radiata: displays as a combination of cerebeller and motor symptoms, pyramidal weakness on the ipsilateral (same side) side, dysarthria clumsy hand syndrome. Internal capsule or corona riadata or pons: pure dysarthria.
