Study Notes
Motor Speech Disorders
- Motor system controls motor movements
- Speech is communication through vocal symbols (physical production)
- Disorders are abnormalities of function
Motor Speech Disorders (Continued)
- Collection of speech production deficits caused by abnormal motor system function
- Comprises seven types of dysarthria and one type of apraxia
Dysarthria
- Impaired speech production due to muscular control disturbances of the speech mechanism
- "Disordered utterance"
- Dys- (disordered/abnormal) and arthria (Greek for "utter distinctly")
- Misconception: slurred speech
- Affects articulation, respiration, prosody, resonance, and phonation
Apraxia
- Inability to smoothly sequence speech-producing movements of the tongue, lips, jaw, and other speech mechanisms
- A- (absence of) and praxia (Greek for "performance of action")
- Primarily affects articulation and prosody
- Often occurs with left hemisphere brain damage
Historical Review
- Examining early reports is crucial for understanding historical contexts
- Many ancient medical writers had a modern approach to medicine
- A focus on analytical approaches to medicine
Case Reports from Ancient Greece
