Adult apraxia assessment
How does a speech-language pathologist diagnose apraxia of speech?
A speech-language pathologist (SLP) uses a combination of formal and informal assessment tools to diagnose apraxia of speech and determine the nature and severity of the condition. The assessment typically includes examinations of the individual’s oral-motor abilities, melody of speech, and speech sound production in a variety of contexts.
What is the sensitivity and specificity of apraxia in hemiparetic patients?
Accordingly, using cut-off levels of 9 and 5, high specificity (93%) and sensitivity (88%) for mild and severe apraxia could be estimated. The patient is seated in front of the examiner; both with the forearms placed on the table. Hemiparetic patients execute the gestures with their non-paretic upper limb i.e. ipsilesional.
How many items are included in a screening test for apraxia?
The screening test (Vanbellingen et al., JNNP 2010) comprises 12 items extracted from the more comprehensive test of upper limb apraxia, TULIA (Vanbellingen et al., EJoN 2010) by item reduction analysis. The items represent all semantic categories: one meaningless, three intransitive (communicative) and 8 transitive (tool-related) gestures.
How do patients with dysarthria know if they have apraxia?
Another helpful clue is that patients with dysarthria might mispronounce words in a consistent manner, whereas pronunciation errors in patients with apraxia of speech vary considerably from one use of a particular word to the next.
