84 MOTOR SPEECH DISORDERS: DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT
https://t.me/medicina_free
longer words that all start with the same consonant–vowel–
consonant (CVC) syllable. It should be extremely difcult
for an individual with apraxia of speech to complete this list
without numerous sequencing errors. Not only are most of
the words multisyllabic, most of them also are low-frequency
words, meaning that they do not occur often in everyday
conversations. Patients with apraxia usually have more
difculty pronouncing low-frequency words than high-
frequency words.
2. “Now these.” Individuals with apraxia of speech typically
have little difculty producing single-syllable words with
a simple CVC construction in which the initial and nal
consonants are identical. Words of this type are included in
the evaluation for two reasons. First, the patient should nd
them to be a successful change of pace from the difcult
previous task. Second, the words provide a strong indication
of severity if the patient makes many apraxic errors on these
words. Because these words should be fairly easy for most
individuals with apraxia of speech, a patient who has dif-
culty with them is probably severely affected by the apraxia.
3. “Now repeat these sentences after me.” The sentences on
this task should be difcult for individuals with apraxia of
speech. These items are uncommon sentences that contain
numerous multisyllabic words. They should evoke some
apraxic errors in most individuals suspected of having
apraxia of speech.
4. “Count from 1 to 20.” Because this is an overlearned, auto-
matic verbal task, many individuals with apraxia of speech
should be able to complete it with far fewer errors than they
will demonstrate on the next task.
5. “Now count backward from 20 to 1.” Most individuals with
apraxia of speech will make multiple errors on this task, if
they can complete it at all. Although they are producing the
same words as in the prior task, counting backward is not
an overlearned verbal activity. Consequently, this should be a
difcult task for most patients with apraxia of speech.
Analysis of Connected Speech
In this nal portion of the evaluation, the clinician should have the patient read one of the standard reading passages such as the Grandfather passage or the Rainbow passage. To ensure an accu­rate analysis of the patient’s connected speech, it is very important

to obtain a good quality audio or video recording of this task. Rate the characteristics of the patient’s speech according to the ques­tions listed at the end of the examination (Darley et al., 1975). A complete analysis of connected speech should provide much of the information needed to distinguish one dysarthria from another.
Summary of the Evaluation of Motor Speech Disorders
n Evaluating motor speech disorders can be a challenging task
for inexperienced clinicians. There are numerous elements of speech production that must be assessed to make a proper diagnosis. The clinician needs to evaluate a patient’s respira­tion, phonation, resonance, articulation, and prosody during a motor speech examination.
n Instrumentation and perceptual analysis are the two primary
methods of assessing motor speech disorders. Most clini­cians use perceptual analysis to make their diagnosis. With this method, clinicians use their eyes and ears to determine whether a motor speech disorder is present in a given patient.
n In addition to evaluating the elements of speech production
(e.g., respiration, phonation, etc.), a complete motor speech examination will examine the six processes that are the foun­dation of all voluntary movements: muscle strength, speed of movement, range of movement, accuracy of movement, motor steadiness, and muscle tone.
n At the most basic level, a motor speech examination allows a
clinician to fully describe a patient’s speech production abili­ties. With this complete description of the patient’s abilities, the clinician should be able to logically answer pertinent questions about the patient’s decits and arrive at a correct diagnosis.
