Cаse #7 (аudiо аnd videо): Based оn this clip, what diagnosis can you make? Be specific
Cаse Study #2: A 49-yeаr-оld wоmаn was referred by her internist because оf a 2-month history of speech difficulty that her family interpreted as a response to stress. Patient reported well-managed stress and described her speech as “nasal,” which she attributed to a cold. She had recently begun to choke on liquids. She admitted that food occasionally squirreled (pocketed) in her cheeks and that sometimes she needed to use a finger to remove it. She had begun to gag when brushing her teeth or swallowing saliva and reported “crying a lot,” even when she did not feel sad. She admitted to some “twitching” around her eyes and left upper lip. Oral mechanism examination revealed bilateral lower face and tongue weakness and reduced lateral tongue alternating motion rates (AMRs). Her cough and glottal coup were weak. A sucking reflex was present. Her contextual speech was characterized by a groaning, strained voice quality; reduced loudness; hypernasality; imprecise and weak pressure consonants; reduced rate; short phrases; and monopitch and monoloudness. Speech AMRs were slow but regular. Vowel prolongation was mildly strained and breathy. QUESTIONS: (Please label your responses A, B, C, D, and E) (28 points total) (A) What type of motor speech disorder do you suspect this patient may have? (3 points) (B) What are the primary characteristics that helped you draw that conclusion? (6 points) (C) List three (out of the possible 5) speech systems you are confident are impaired. (3 points) (D) Why did you select the three speech systems you did in C? List rationale for each of the three speech systems you selected (6 points) (E) Select one of the impaired speech systems from your answer in C/D that you would want to work on in therapy. In your answer make sure you describe 1) the specific technique you would utilize (i.e., the name of the technique), 2) describe how the technique is utilized (i.e., how would you implement it?), and 3) at least 2 questions you would want answered/additional information you would need to confirm that the technique you chose is appropriate for your patient.
