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 difcult
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
difculty pronouncing low-frequency words than high-
frequency words.
2. “Now these.” Individuals with apraxia of speech typically
have little difculty 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 difcult
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 difcult 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
difcult 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 decits and arrive at a correct
diagnosis.
