Study Notes
Neurogenic Communication Disorders
- Neurogenic communication disorders are primarily brain-based and acquired.
- These disorders typically necessitate intervention from speech-language pathologists (SLPs) in healthcare settings.
Key Brain Structures
- Nervous System: Comprises central and peripheral systems.
- Frontal Lobes: Critical for physical movement planning; includes Broca's Area for speech production.
- Temporal Lobes: Essential for perception; contains Wernicke's Area for speech comprehension and Heschl’s gyrus for auditory processing.
- Parietal Lobes: Processes incoming sensory information.
- Occipital Lobes: Responsible for visual information processing.
Common Disorders
- Cerebrovascular Accident (CVA): Often known as a stroke; causes can include thrombosis, embolism, and hemorrhage.
- Parkinson Disease: Characterized by progressive nerve cell degeneration affecting muscle movement.
- Alzheimer Disease: Affects cognitive functions such as memory, attention, and language.
- Multiple Sclerosis: Destroys the protective covering of nerve cells.
- Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS): Impacts nerve cells responsible for muscle movement.
- Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI): Results from a sudden blow to the head; severity of impairment varies.
Historical Contributions
- Key figures in the study and understanding of neurogenic disorders include:
- Franz Joseph Gall
- Paul Broca
- Karl Wernicke
- Korbinian Brodmann
- Augusta Dejerine-Klumpke
- Karl Lashley
- Hildred Schuell
- Wilder Penfield
Types of Neurogenic Communication Disorders
-
Impairments of Speech:
- Dysarthria: Difficulty in motor control for speech, which includes variations like hyperkinetic, hypokinetic, spastic, flaccid, ataxic, and mixed types.
- Apraxia: Inability to perform skilled motor movements despite having the desire and physical capability.
-
Impairments of Language:
-
Aphasia: Affects language production, comprehension, reading, writing, and calculation. Includes:
- Fluent aphasia (Wernicke and Anomia types)
- Nonfluent aphasia (Broca and Global types)
-
Aphasia: Affects language production, comprehension, reading, writing, and calculation. Includes:
-
Cognitive-Communication Disorders: Result from damage to frontal lobe regions, can arise from injuries like laceration, concussion, or contrecoup.
Treatment Approaches
-
Aphasia Therapy:
- Aim to maximize recovery of impaired functions.
- Develop effective communication strategies.
- Support adjustment to brain injury-induced residual deficits.
-
Cognitive-Communication Disorders Therapy:
- Focus on leveraging intact cognitive abilities to compensate for impairments.
- Techniques include validation therapy, graphic cuing, and Montessori-based interventions.
Current Theories
- Spontaneous recovery in rehabilitation.
- Right Hemisphere Theory of Recovery.
- Phonetic-Motoric Disorder of Apraxia focusing on sound sequencing.
Cultural Considerations
- Multicultural factors can influence the presentation and management of neurogenic communication disorders.
