MSD SD Acoustic and Physiological findings

1. Paradoxical breathing is nothing but

• Reduced inspiratory volume

• Abdominal muscles fail to relax during inhalation

• Abdominal muscle does not move during respiration

• Abdominal muscle contracts during expiration

2. Respiratory problems in Spastic Dysarthria Includes

• Reduced Inspiratory and expiratory reserve volume

• shallow breathing

• Reduced Vital capacity

• All of the above

3. In spastic dysarthria, vocal fold adduction is normal during rest

• Yes

• No

• Not all the time

• None of the above

4. Decreased F0 and I0 variability in Spastic Dysarthria correlates with

• Strained voice

• Monorhythm

• Monopitch & Monoloudness

• None of the above

Strained and strangled voice quality in Spastic dysarthria correlates with

• Increased shimmer and jitter

• Increased SD of fundamental frequency (fo)

• Decreased HNR

• All of the above

Non-syntactic breaks commonly affects

• pitch

• loudness

• speaking rate

• all of the above

Increased glottal resistance, Increased subglottic air pressure and decreased laryngeal airflow correlates with

• hypofunctional voice

• breathy voice

• whispering voice

• Hyperfunctional voice

The perceived breathiness of voice in some patients with Spastic Dysarthria is because of a

Sluggish velopharyngeal port movement in SD causes

• unclear voiced & unvoiced distinctions

• poor nasal resonance

• articulatory deficits

• phonatory deficits

Speech AMRs in Spastic Dysarthria is characterized by

• Slow and Regular

• Slow and irregular

• Fast and regular

• Fast and irregular
