Study Notes
Motor Speech Disorders
- Motor speech disorders are a collection of speech production deficits caused by abnormal functioning of the motor system.
- These disorders involve seven types of dysarthria and one type of apraxia.
- Motor refers to the part of the motor system controlling motor movements.
- Speech is communication through the use of vocal symbols in physical production.
- Disorders are abnormalities of function.
Dysarthria
- Dysarthria is impaired speech production due to disturbances in muscular control of the speech mechanism.
- It's characterized by a "disordered utterance."
- Dys- (disordered or abnormal) and -arthria (Greek for "to utter distinctly")
- A misconception is that dysarthria is always slurred speech.
- Dysarthria can impact articulation, respiration, prosody, resonance, and phonation.
Apraxia
- Apraxia is a deficit in the smooth sequencing of speech-producing movements of the tongue, lips, jaw, and other parts of the speech mechanism.
- It's associated with 'a' (absence of) and 'praxia' (Greek for "performance of action").
- Apraxia primarily affects articulation and prosody.
- It often results from damage to the left hemisphere of the brain.
Historical Review
- Examining early reports is crucial for understanding historical context.
- Ancient medical writers often displayed "modern" approaches.
- Taking an analytical approach to understanding medicine has evolved over time.
Case Reports (Ancient Greece)
- Early written accounts of speech and language disorders appear in the Hippocratic Corpus.
- Writings describe speechlessness, recovered tongue use, and tongue paralysis.
Case Reports (Middle Ages and Renaissance)
- Descriptions from case reports during the Middle Ages and Renaissance include instances of omitted/added syllables in speech and speech attempts filled with babble.
Two Early Theories on Localization of Reason
- The four cerebral ventricles (ancient times to 16th century) were believed to be important for reasons.
- The meninges had a role in sensations and movement during this time.
From the Nineteenth Century to Today
- Case reports and medical descriptions became more specific during the 1800s.
- Examples included "Shaking palsy" and "Slow drawling manner."
From the Nineteenth Century to Today (continued)
- Liepmann accurately described apraxia of speech in 1900.
- Wernicke described nonverbal oral apraxia in 1906.
Summary
- Speech motor disorders are a collection of speech production deficits stemming from abnormal motor system functioning.
- The disorders involve seven types of dysarthria and one type of apraxia.
Summary (continued)
- Historical accounts include the Hippocratic Corpus and the Middle Ages and Renaissance.
- Two theories of localization and reasoning—four cerebral ventricles and meninges-controlled senses and movement—were proposed in earlier times.
Summary (continued)
- The 19th century and beyond saw Liepmann describe apraxia of speech and Wernicke characterize nonverbal oral apraxia.
