Answers
The duration of swallowing apnea is longest in
healthy elderly adults
Other frequently occurring deficit areas in CAS include
language, metalinguistic/phonemic awareness and syllable
shapes
The most useful tasks for differential diagnosis of dysarthria in a
motor speech evaluation are
assessment of conversational speech and alternating motion
rates (AMRs)
What can you tell a patient with Parkinson disease about the likely
benefits of neurosurgical procedures, such as pallidotomy or
,thalamotomy, on her speech production?
there will probably be significant postoperative improvements in
ratings of general motor function and disease severity but not in
speech production
You are working in an amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) clinic,
where you monitor patients every 3 months. Of the following
situations, which would you expect?
individuals with spinal onset require motor speech intervention
later than those with bulbar onset
What condition is the most likely to result in a mixed flaccid-
spastic dysarthria?
TBI
Increased vocal effort is considered to be a holistic intervention
strategy because
it affects multiple physiological systems
, What "internal evidence" (internal to patient and/or clinician)
makes it difficult to recommend rate-control strategies?
individuals dislike speaking slowly
You are screening a patient in acute care. You note that all
speaking attempts are unintelligible, the patient does not initiate
language, and comprehension appears poor. Your first priority is
establish consistent "yes"/"no" responses
Your client presents with 98% speech intelligibility, adequate
subglottal pressure, nasal emission on plosives, no gag reflex,
normal voice quality, and appropriate loudness. He wants to
return to his radio broadcasting job. Most appropriate intervention?
fitting for a palatal lift prosthesis
Pacing boards can reduce speech naturalness because
their use leads to placement of pauses in linguistically-
inappropriate locations.
