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
(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
Centralization of vowel formants in SD indicates
slurred speech
Strained-Strangled voice
Reduced phonatory range
Reduced articulatory range
VOT measurable in only some cases of SD is due to
Poor voicing
Poor articulatory release
poor strength
none of the above
Electropalatography
Incomplete articulatory contact
Nasometry
Increased nasal airflow
Imprecise consonant production
Weakness at the articulatory, velopharyngeal, or laryngeal valves
Evidence of slowness
prolonged phonemes/syllables
The acoustic and physiological studies have confirmed the presence of ‘articulatory imprecision’, ‘slow rate’ and ‘weakness' in patients with Spastic Dysarthria
True
Partially True
Untrue
Partially Untrue
In spastic dysarthria, jaw movement will be (a) whereas lip and tongue movements are (b)
