Nonfluent aphasias |
Broca's transcortical motor Mixed transcortical Global |
|
|
Broca's aphasia |
Nonfluent speech Limited word output Distorted sounds Agrammatic speech Impaired repetition of words Impaired naming Better auditory comp Difficulty w/syntactic structures Poor oral reading and comp Writing problems Monotonous speech Right sides paralysis/paresis |
|
|
Transcortical motor aphasia is characterized by |
Speechlessness Echolalia and perseveration Absent or reduced spontaneous speech Nonfluent, paraphasic, agrammatic, and telegraphic sp Intact repetition skill Awareness of grammaticality Refusal to repeat nonsense syllables Unfinished sentences Limited word fluency Clapping, head nodding, and hand waving to initiate speech Generally good comp of simple conversation Slow and difficult reading aloud Seriously impaired writing |
|
|
Mixed transcortical aphasia is characterized by |
Limited spontaneous speech Automatic, unintentional and involuntary nature of comm. severe echolalia Repetition of examiners statement Severely impaired fluency Severely impaired auditory comp. marked naming difficulty Impaired confrontation naming Mostly unimpaired automatic speech Severely impaired reading, reading comprehension, and writing |
|
|
Global aphasia is characterized by |
Profoundly impaired language skills Greatly reduced fluency Expressions limited to a few words, exclamations, and serial utterances Impaired repetition Impaired naming Auditory comp limited to single words Perseveration Impaired reading and writing |
|
|
Fluent aphasias |
Wernicke's Transcortical sensory Conduction Anomic |
|
|
Wernicke's aphasia is characterized by |
Incessant, effortless, flowing speech Normal fluency Normal phrase length Rapid rate with normal prosody and good artic Intact grammatical structures Severe word finding probs Paraphasic speech with neologisms Circumlocution Empty speech Poor auditory comp Impaired turn taking Impaired repetition Reading comp probs Writing probs |
|
|
Transcortical sensory aphasia is characterized by |
Fluent speech w/ good artic, prosody Paraphasic, empty speech Severe naming problems Good repetition skills but poor comprehension of repeated words Echolalia Impaired auditory comp Difficulty in pointing, obeying commands, or answering simple yes/no Normal automatic speech Can Complete poems or sentences Good reading aloud but poor comp of material Better oral reading skills Writing problems |
|
|
Conduction aphasia |
Impaired repetition Variable fluency Paraphasic speech Marked word-finding Empty speech Efforts to correct errors Good syntax, prosody, artic Severe to mild naming probs Near normal auditory comp Better at pointing than naming Variable reading probs Writing problems Buccofacial apraxia |
|
|
Anomic aphasia |
Word finding difficulty Naming unimpaired Fluent speech Normal syntax Empty speech Verbal Paraphasia Circumlocution Good aud comp Intact repetition Unimpaired artic Normal oral reading Good reading comp Normal writing skills |
|
|
Sub cortical aphasia |
Lesion on the basal ganglia: Fluent speech Intact repetition Normal aud comp Articulation probs (similar to Broca's) Prosody issues Word finding issues Semantic paraphasias Good writing skills Limb apraxia
