Studied by 17 people
Digital recordings of patient's meaningful messages using their own voice, inflection and intonation that are stores and then programmed on an AAC device
Message Banking
The primary reason individuals with multiple sclerosis leave the workforce
Cognitive changes
Common symptoms of this disease include tremor, slowed movements, stooped posture, cognitive decline, dysarthria, and dysphagia.
Parkinson's disease
There are two types of ALS, one that presents with muscle weakness in the limbs and one that presents with speech/swallowing changes.
Spinal onset and bulbar onset ALS
Memory changes in this disease are likely to involve working memory, encoding from short-term to long-term storage, prospective memory, and procedural memory
Parkinson's dementia
This deficit involves the inability to recognize faces, including one’s own
Prosopagnosia
This is a difficulty in understanding and expressing the normal range of facial expressions and tone of voice
Flat affect
This measure of spatial neglect asks the client to mark each occurrence of a target item on a piece of paper
Cancellation task
This is an impaired awareness of deficits (motor, sensory, cognitive, emotional) or reduced insight into how those deficits affect daily functioning
Anosognosia
This type of memory is necessary in understanding incoming speech input and planning speech output.
Working memory
Contact-sports players who suffer concussions over the course of their athletic careers are at an increased risk of developing this disorder later in life
Dementia
Individuals with this deficit present with gradual deterioration of conceptual knowledge associated with bilateral temporal atrophy
Semantic dementia
Performance on this type of task can distinguish individuals with AD from individuals with semantic dementia
Confrontation naming or category fluency
This rehabilitation technique uses objects from the past to facilitate a discussion of the past that is meant to stimulate recall
Reminiscence Therapy
This rehabilitation technique asks the client to retrieve newly-learned information repeatedly at equal intervals of time
Spaced Retrieval Training
This type of injury results from the brain rebounding off the skull on the opposite site of the impact
Counter-coup injury
Individuals suffering from this syndrome have had a mild brain injury, but continue to experience problems (headaches, irritability, impaired concentration) longer than expected
Post-concussive syndrome
Post-traumatic amnesia, premorbid intelligence, age at time of injury and duration of coma
Predictors of recovery from TBI
This scale is typically administered in the field, at the scene of the crash, or in the emergency room to obtain a rapid clinical picture of the patient.
Glasgow Coma Scale
Gray and white matter move at different speeds due to their relative weight (the white matter is denser than the gray matter), causing this type of injury as a result of acceleration/deceleration.
Axonal Shearing Diffuse axonal injury (traumatic shearing forces leading to tearing of nerve fibers in the white matter tracts).
This is a method of communicating using a variety of methods, including verbal language, sign language, and different types of augmentative and alternative communication (AAC).
Multi-modal communication
This AAC device is least likely to be available in the ICU
High-tech AAC
This is AAC that uses some type of equipment/external support such as a communication board or a speech generating device
Unaided communication
This intervention is when the communication partner uses AAC in conjunction with spoken input
Modeling
This type of technology used to help individuals with severe deficits navigate and select responses from a screen with their eyes
Eye-tracking or eye gaze
Figuratively, you could say that individuals with this deficit “can’t see the forest because of the trees,” but they would not be able to understand what you mean
