Videо Cаses. I hаve budgeted enоugh time fоr you аll to listen to each video two times through. However, feel free to skip around the video if you feel that you can answer the below motor speech evaluation fully. Highlight/bold your answers or directly write in your answers at the very end of this question. A 65 year-old female (JG) with probable ALS presents to your outpatient clinic for evaluation of speech-language and swallowing function as part of her multi-disciplinary neurological visit. According to the patient’s son, symptoms began 1 year ago, and her speech and swallowing function has progressively declined since then. Regarding speech function, she reports that she sounds “slurred, nasally, and slow.” In terms of swallowing function, she reports occasionally coughing during and after mealtimes, and eating more slowly (approximately 45 minutes to finish a meal). The patient crushes or cuts her pills in half in order to swallow them, and cuts her food into smaller pieces and takes smaller bites of food to compensate. She denies reflux or any pneumonia. a) Motor Speech Evaluation: Perceptual speech evaluation is rated on a 0-7 point scale, with 0 indicating normal function and 7 indicating profound dysfunction. Please rate each subsystem and characteristic that you hear (6 points). Respiratory mechanism is involved with a severity rating of: Maximum phonation duration: Maximum loudness: Normal Adequate Inadequate Loudness in conversation: Normal Adequate Inadequate Laryngeal mechanism is involved with a severity rating of: Vocal quality: Normal Hoarse Breathy (continuous) Breathy (transient) Strained-strangled Harsh Rough Pitch range: Normal Adequate InadequateVocal tremor: Yes No Velopharyngeal mechanism is involved with a severity rating of: Resonance: Normal Hypernasal HyponasalNasal emission: Yes No Nasal assimilation: Yes No Orofacial mechanism is involved with a severity rating of: Conversation: Precise Imprecise Diadochokinesis: Precise Imprecise Rate is involved with a severity rating of: Speed: Normal Fast Slow Pace: Consistent VariableDDK rate: Normal Fast Slow Prosody is involved with a severity rating of: Intonation in conversation: Normal Variable Monotonous Stress in conversation: Normal Equal and excess Reduced stress Excess loudness variation Fluency is involved with a severity rating of: Neurogenic stuttering: Yes No Palilalia: Yes No Naturalness is involved with a severity rating of (0-7): Intelligibility in connected speech is:
Videо Cаse 2. A 59 yeаr оld mаle (RL) whо carries a medical diagnosis of multiple system atrophy-cerebellar (MSA-C) presents to your outpatient clinic for progressive changes to speech and swallowing function. More specifically, he reports “slurred” speech and a “raspy/breathy” vocal quality. He notes that listeners frequently have difficulty understanding him, especially on the telephone. He and his wife note occasional coughing/choking during meals. f) Based on the MBS you observed in Video Case 1, select the type of dysphagia you observed.
