Which task evaluates the integrity of tongue movements with repetitions of the same syllable?

What should be examined to evaluate dysphagia related to IX, X, and XI nerves?

What is used to assess the pace and rate of production in the Trigeminal (V) Nerve evaluation?

During Speech Specific Tasks, what is evaluated by observing for articulation errors and pacing abnormalities?

What does DDK provide information about in terms of cerebellar function?

What muscle movement is especially observed during evaluation of Glossopharyngeal (IX) Nerve?

Each type of dysarthria has the same etiology and speech disorders.

It is easy to differentiate between dysarthrias during a diagnostic evaluation due to their distinct characteristics.

Motor speech samples play a crucial role in identifying and classifying deviant speech characteristics in dysarthria.

Starting with a cognitive test is not important when assessing dysarthria.

In the Patient Interview for Examination of MSDs, assessing the patient's awareness of symptoms is not necessary.

Administering a speech handicap index scale is not part of the essential tasks for completing an assessment of dysarthria.

Observing breathing, eye contact, volume, and fatigue is not important during a clinical interview with a patient.

Many people in the Deaf community consider themselves handicapped.

Patients may answer differently to 'Do you have difficulty swallowing?' and 'Does food ever go down the wrong pipe?'

The Dworkin-Culatta Oral Mechanism Exam mainly assesses speech articulation.

Evaluation of Glossopharyngeal (IX) Nerve involves observing eye movements.

During sustained phonation assessment, comparing results to age/gender norms is not necessary.

The Diadochokinetic task tells us how the tongue is communicating with the cerebellum.

Forced Vital Lung Capacity can be collected via telehealth.

Patients with apraxia tend to perform better on tasks that require thought rather than automatic speech tasks.

Intelligibility testing involves counting from 1 to 100.

During speech tasks, patients with dysarthria perform consistently across all types of tasks.

Involuntary muscle movements are especially observed during Glossopharyngeal (IX) Nerve evaluation.

Kyphosis puts pressure on the diaphragm and makes breathing easier.

Speech tasks like reading passages are vital for differential diagnosis of Apraxia.

Automatic speech tasks are often preserved better with volitional speech.

Short conversations are not considered a natural communication environment for clinical judgements.

The mean breathing rate for a normal individual is 14-16 cycles per minute.

Stridor refers to a voice that is noisy at rest.

Harsh, hoarse, and breathy are qualities analyzed during the Mean Phonation Time task.

A client's ability to sustain phonation for a short duration indicates a healthy respiratory system.

The Buhl spirometer is used to evaluate forced vital lung capacity.

Perceptually based clinical assessments are considered the least important component of clinical diagnosis.

The Frenchay Dysarthria Assessment - 2nd edition (FDA_2) is an informal assessment tool for dysarthria evaluation.

Acoustic and physiologic measures have limited potential value for clinical diagnoses as instrumentation becomes less expensive.

Using informal assessment tools can aid in systematically identifying characteristics specific to each type of dysarthria.

Stress test involving counting from 1 to 100 is part of the Speech Specific Tasks for dysarthria evaluation.

The DDK Perceptual Analysis of Speech involves gathering speech samples for analysis, including vowel prolongation and alternating motion rates.

During the Dworkin-Culatta Oral Mechanism Exam, the assessment includes structures such as the teeth, hard/soft palate, and musculature associated with the nose and eyes.

In the Speech Specific Tasks, the Trigeminal (V) Nerve evaluation involves looking for weakness, asymmetry, and incoordination of muscles controlling jaw movement.

The Glossopharyngeal (IX) Nerve, Vagus (X), and Spinal Accessory (XI) are related to the integrity of the mandibular musculature.

The Sequential Motion Rates (SMR) require patients to produce repetitions of a sequence of syllables like /pataka/.

During the DDK Perceptual Analysis of Speech, the Alternating Motion Rates (AMR) and Sequential Motion Rates (SMR) are both used to assess speech function.

Respiration Tasks during speech evaluation focus on observing clavicular breathing as it is the most effective method for speech production.

The Hypoglossal (XII) Nerve evaluation includes observing tongue atrophy, fasciculation, and involuntary movements in non-speech tasks.

The Speech Specific Tasks do not involve any assessment related to facials muscles or movements controlled by the facial (VII) Nerve.

In the Speech Specific Tasks, tasks like repeating days of the week, months, CVC syllables with identical initial and final consonants evaluate only speech resonance features.

Mean phonation time is one of the essential components of MSD testing

During an MSD assessment, individuals with apraxia are unaware of the errors and do not attempt to self-correct.

The administration of AMR/SMR would be a more important assessment task than mean phonation time for individuals with suspected apraxia of speech.

Which assessment is vital for diagnosing Apraxia?

Which of the following assessments is essential a speech stress test?

Which type of assessment is important to administer for patients with myasthenia gravis or other lower motor neuron disorders?

Which of the following is the most natural communication environment to observe and begin to make clinical judgements?

_______ is an assessment of structures at rest and in motion

Which of the following is not an essential assessment task?

A person with dysarthria will perform the same across all automatic speech tasks.
