SPE 691 UUMN Dysarthria and Ataxic Dysarthria Lecture 6
100% Verified!!
UUMN Dysarthria - ANSWER A motor speech disorder caused by damage to the upper
motor neurons that supply cranial and spinal nerves involves in speech production, the
dominant speech problem is imprecise production of consonants, but slow
diadochokinesis and voice disorder also commonly occur.
UUMN, spastic - ANSWER Unilateral UMN damage = _________________ dysarthria
Bilateral UMN damage = _________________ dysarthria
mild - ANSWER Deficits associated with UUMN dysarthria tend to be more _____________
(because it's only unilateral).
Articulation - ANSWER UUMN dysarthria is primarily a disorder of
______________________.
aphasia, apraxia - ANSWER UUMN dysarthria often co-occurs with _________________ or
_________________ when lesion is in the LEFT hemisphere.
cognitive deficits - ANSWER UUMN dysarthria often co-occurs with
______________________ when lesion is in the RIGHT hemisphere.
unilaterally, bilaterally - ANSWER Spinal nerves are innervated by UMN
______________________ (contralateral) while cranial nerves are innervated
______________________ (ipsilateral and contralateral).
pyramidal - ANSWER UUMN dysarthria most often involves a lesion to the primary motor
cortex or the ______________________ tract.
