  1. Motor speech disorders

    Motor speech disorders are a class of speech disorder that disturb the body s natural ability to speech speak . These disturbances vary in their etiology based on the integrity and integration of cognitive, neuromuscular, and Human musculoskeletal system musculoskeletal activities. Speaking is an act dependent on thought and timed execution of airflow and oral motor oral placement of the lip s, tongue , and jaw that can be disrupted by weakness in oral musculature dysarthria or an inability to execute the motor movements needed for specific speech sound production apraxia of speech apraxia . Such deficits can be related to pathology of the nervous system central and or peripheral systems involved in motor planning that affect the timing of respiration, phonation, prosody, and articulation in isolation or in conjunction. Dysarthria main Dysarthria Dysarthria is the reduced ability to motor plan volitional movements needed for speech production as the result of weakness paresis and or paralysis of the musculature of the oral mechanism needed for Respiration physiology respiration , phonation , resonance , articulation , and or Prosody linguistics prosody . Apraxia main Apraxia of speech Apraxia is the inability to motor plan volitional movement for speech production in the absence of muscular weakness.

  1. Hugo Liepmann

    Image Liepmann.jpg right thumb Hugo Liepmann Hugo Karl Liepmann April 9, 1863 May 6, 1925 was a German neurologist and psychiatrist who was a native of Berlin . From 1895 to 1899 he was an assistant to Carl Wernicke in Breslau , and in 1901 received his habilitation at the Charit Berlin. From 1914 to 1920 he was director of the Herzberge asylum in Berlin. Liepmann is remembered for his pioneer work involving cerebrum cerebral localization of function. From anatomy anatomical studies, he postulated that planned or commanded actions were controlled in the parietal lobe of the brain s dominant hemisphere, and not in the frontal lobe . Beginning in 1900, he began extensive work with a disorder he called apraxia . Apraxia is the inability to act or move different parts of the body in a purposeful manner, even though the physical capability of movement is normal. Liepmann believed that damage in the parietal lobe prevented activation of learned sequences of actions that are necessary to produce desired results on command. As a result of his studies, he divided apraxia into three types ideational object blindness, where the patient is incapable of making appropriate use of familiar objects upon command. ideomotor the inability to follow verbal commands or mimic an action, such as saluting or waving goodbye. kinetic energy kinetic clumsiness in performing a precision act that is not due to paralysis , muscle weakness, or sensory loss.

  1. Recurrent artery of Heubner

    Heubner s artery also known as the recurrent artery of Heubner , named after the Germany German paediatrician Otto Heubner is a branch from the anterior cerebral artery , typically from the distal A1 segment or proximal A2 segment, or at the level of the optic chiasm. Its vascular territory is the anteromedial section of the caudate nucleus and the anterioinferior section of the internal capsule , as well as parts of the putamen and septal nuclei . Heubner s artery is the distal part of the medial striate artery . In cases of obstructed flow in the Heubner s artery, the individual may experience infarction in those subcortical areas and thus hemiparesis . More proximal portions of the medial striate artery may cause spastic paraparesis and sensory loss contralateral to the lesioned side. Urinary incontinence and gait apraxia are also not uncommon findings. Of note, occlusive damage to the medial striate artery may also present with contralateral grip reflex issues, and symptoms of Dysexecutive Syndrome . Contralateral gaze preference with or without transcortical motor aphasia may present in instances where the left hemisphere is affected in this type of occlusion.

  1. Wade test

    Orphan date July 2011 The Wade test is a neurological test performed by surgeon s and neurologist s, to determine whether a patient is left cerebral cortex cortical hemisphere dominant or right cortical hemisphere dominant. Test Most individuals about 95 of the time ref name james who are right handed are left cortical hemisphere dominant, while about 10 of individuals who are left handed, are right cortical hemisphere dominant. The dominance refers to the Cerebral cortex cortex where often propositional language centers such as Broca s area located in pars opercularis and pars triangularis of the frontal lobe responsible for generation of speech, Wernicke s area located in superior temporal gyrus , responsible for comprehension of speech, and other motor and somatosensory areas are located. The dominant hemisphere is therefore responsible for language, and comprehension of speech. Description The test involves injection of sodium amobarbital Amytal , ref name james cite book title Neuroanatomy Board Review Series author James D. Fix edition 4 publisher Wolter Kluwer Health Lippincott Williams & Wilkins pages 304 year 2008 Baltimore ISBN 9780781772457 ref an anesthetic into the patient s common carotid artery carotid artery on the suspected dominant side, and then evaluating patient for speech and language comprehension.
