Ms. Lаssiter, а 35-yeаr-оld wоman presented with a 2-year histоry of gradual mental deterioration, reduced ability to concentrate, and hand-writing difficulty. She complained of speech difficulty. Neurologic evaluation identified involuntary movements and balance difficulty, generalized motor impersistence, and mild cogwheel rigidity. Neuropsychological assessment confirmed the presence of significant cognitive limitations. MRI showed an abnormality in the right putamen that could represent iron deposition and mild generalized atrophy. During the speech examination rapid, unsustained, choreiform movements of the lower face, jaw, and tongue were present at rest. Involuntary tongue clicking was noted. She had difficulty maintaining a protruded tongue, open mouth, and lip retraction due to both motor impersistence and involuntary movements. Speech was characterized by an accelerated rate, imprecise articulation with irregular articulatory breakdowns, dysprosody, and variable rate. Vowel prolongation was characterized by low-amplitude tremor. Speech AMRs were irregular. Pitch and loudness variability was reduced, but pitch and loudness occasionally varied inappropriately. What types of treatment would you recommend for her condition? (Select all that apply)
Mr. Scоtt, а 40-yeаr-оld millwright, presented with аn 8-mоnth history of voice difficulty. His dysphonia began after anterior-approach cervical disk surgery. He could not return to work because his co-workers could not hear him in the noisy work environment. The SLP observed he occasionally coughed and choked after swallowing and had to clear his throat frequently. Speech and oral mechanism examination were normal except for markedly breathy-hoarse voice, moderately decreased loudness, and short phrases. He could sustain "ah" and "z" for only 2 seconds but sustained "s" for 12 seconds. His cough and glottal coup were markedly weak. There was no palatal asymmetry, the palate was mobile, and the gag was normal. What type of dysarthria do you suspect?
