What is a hypokinetic condition?
Hypokinetic Condition is a health problem caused partly by lack of exercise.
What are some of the things that can cause dysarthria?
Dysarthria is a motor speech disorder, affecting one's ability to speak. This is usually caused by strokes and head or brain injury as it affects the brain's ability to control and coordinate the muscles required to produce sound and speech.
What causes ataxic dysarthria?
Ataxic dysarthria is caused by damage to the cerebellum or its connections to the cerebral cortex or brain-stem.
What causes spastic dysarthria?
Spastic dysarthria is caused by damage to the primary voluntary motor pathways, which originate in the frontal lobes of the brain and descend to the brainstem and spinal cord.
What is the difference between dysarthria and dysarthrosis?
Dysarthria is a speech disorder caused by weakness or paralysis of the muscles used for speech, resulting in difficulty speaking clearly. Dysarthrosis, on the other hand, refers to a joint disorder where there is abnormal movement or alignment of a joint, leading to limitations in range of motion or pain.
What causes flaccid dysarthria?
The most common causes of spastic dysarthria include spastic cerebral palsy , multiple sclerosis , amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS, or Lou Gehrig's disease), multiple strokes, and closed head injuries.
What is difference between dysphasia and aphasia?
Aphasia and dysarthria are difficulty in speaking. aphasia the problem is in the brain. dysarthria the problem in the muscle or the nerve such as the hypoglossal nerve.aphasia due to damage or disease in the brain. dysarthria damage to the muscles or the nerves supply them such as the hypoglossal nerve.
What is the difference between hyperkinetic conditions and hypokinetic conditions?
Hyperkinetic conditions involve excessive movement or muscle activity, such as in hyperactivity or chorea. Hypokinetic conditions involve decreased movement or muscle activity, as seen in conditions like Parkinson's disease. Both types of conditions can affect a person's motor function and overall quality of life.
What is the example of hypokinetic diseases?
Hypokinetic disorders include:•Cardiovascular disease•Some forms of cancer•Back problems•Obesity•Type 2 diabetes•Osteoporosis•Mental health•high blood pressure•high cholesterol•hyperlipidemia•hypertension
What type of hypokinetic movement is freezing?
Freezing: inability to begin a movement or involuntary stopping of a movement before it is completed
What causes unilateral upper motor neuron dysarthria?
Unilateral upper motor neuron dysarthria can be caused by lesions in the corticobulbar pathway on one side of the brain, such as a stroke, tumor, or traumatic brain injury. These lesions can disrupt the connection between the motor areas of the brain and the cranial nerve nuclei responsible for speech production on that side, leading to impaired control over speech muscles.
How are abnormal movements classified?
Abnormal movements are broadly classified as either hyperkinetic--too much movement--and hypokinetic--too little movement
