Motor Speech Disorders

Front 1

What are the primary characteristics of Flaccid Dysarhtiria?

Back 1

The follow characteristics of flaccid dysarthria is contributed to nerve damage to the lower motor neuron and the final common pathway:
weakness, hypotonia, and diminished reflexes .

Front 2

What are the primary characteristics of Spastic Dysarthira?

Back 2

Spastic Dysarthria can be characterized by nerve damage to the upper motor neuron, which results in weakness and spasticity,in a manner that slows movement and reduces its range and force.

Front 3

Which of the following dysarthrias is caused by damage to the nerve damage in cerebellum at the level of the cerebellar control circuit:
1.Hypokentic Dysarthira
2.Ataxic Dysarthria
3.Hyperkinetic Dysarthira

Back 3

Ataxic Dysarthria is characterized by damage to the cerebellar control circuit which causes, incoordination an reduced muscle tone, the products of which are slowness and inaccuracy in the force , range, timing, and direction of speech movements.
