Language: PL | Published: 20-12-2017 | Abstract | pp. 27-45

Dissociation or Neurodegeneration. Problems of Diagnosis, Treatment and Therapy

Differentiation of the symptoms of dissociation and neurodegeneration in adolescent patients causes many problems. Diagnostic criteria unequivocally show that dissociative disorders should be diagnosed only after excluding general‑medical and neurological causes and the results of the effect of psychoactive substances. The diagnosis of dissociation is indicated by the occurrence of conversion symptoms or recurrent somatic complaints temporally connected with a stressogenic factor in the dynamism of their clinical picture. The aim of the paper is to determine the psychopathological picture of neurodegeneration in an 18‑year‑old female student who was erroneously diagnosed as having dissociative disorders. The results of extended genetic tests conducted after eight years of ineffective treatment and therapy showed a hereditary form of neurodegeneration. The disease, although with different intensity, also manifested itself in the patient’s grandmother, mother and in sister at different periods of their lives.

Analýza možností diagnostiky a intervence oromotorické praxie u klientů poruchou autistického spektra

Kateřina Vitásková

Language: PL | Published: 01-01-2015 | Abstract

The contribution deals with the possibilities of oromotor praxis diagnosis and intervention in individuals suffering from autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Under the Czech and foreign conditions, this domain is rather neglected. The focal analysis is the analysis of an ASD child’s oromotor ability through the application of a partial task activity from the software programme FONO 2, Section ‘Warm-up’. The results of the longitudinal observation are detected by means of the developed evaluation scale and are recorded in the form of tables and graphs, which are analysed subsequently. According to the analysis of oromotor abilities, it is possible to achieve positive results through systematic speech and language therapy intervention focused on the development of mobility in the orofacial sphere. We are of the opinion that the ability to imitate oromotor skills could interfere with the ability to understand and acquire non-verbal communication elements and, subsequently, influence the correlations with possible pragmatic communication abilities in ASD children, similar to the discovery of mutual correlation among oral praxis, oral gnosis, motor praxis and visual perception (with special emphasis placed on eye movements) in children suffering from hearing disorders. The results of the study constitute partial outputs of a specific research within the IGA (IGA 2014/2015 PDF 2014_016) project and, in part, also the GAČR project implemented by the Institute of Special Education Studies of the Pedagogical Faculty of Palacký University in Olomouc.

The overall aim of the research is the description of the aphasiac speech disorders in correlation with the clinical picture of the patient after a stroke, recognizing the research problem in terms of pragmatic, aimed at creating a patient-oriented diagnosis and effective rehabilitation. Cerebral stroke is one of the most common causes of focal brain damages and the cause of more than half of all cases of aphasia. The types of post-stroke disorders are closely related to the location of damage. Any change in the area of the brain affects directly or indirectly the ability and quality of speech, which is coupled to the overall memory functions, motor and intellectual functions. Aphasia comes from the Greek aphasia and means dumbness. The precise explanation of the term, however, causes many difficulties. A multitude of definitions suggests the high complexity of the problem and carries a multiplicity of diagnostic approaches and methodology. In order to make a diagnosis of studied patients she was subjected to a series of trials and exercises, which were the basis of methods based on selected items of psychological and neuropsychological diagnostics. The patient was also subjected to a detailed interview. An evaluation of cranial nerve function and language functions was also made. Due to the age of the patient the degree of cognitive activity was also examined. The research and observations made it possible to diagnose a post-stroke language disorders with the characteristics of motor aphasia and the elements of sensory aphasia. The therapy was aimed mainly at improving the disturbed functions of naming and spontaneous speech. For this purpose a diverse set of exercises were worked out. The right mix of methods used for working with patients allow getting the proper diagnosis and plannig the right treatment that streamlined lost functions, restore the patient to the independent and proper functioning. ...

Motor speech disorders, dysphagia and aphasia in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis – diagnosis and management

Klaudia Kluj-Kozłowska , Emilia J. Sitek

Language: PL | Published: 29-12-2023 | Abstract | pp. 1-43

In this paper we present the role of speech and language therapist in the interdisciplinary team focused on the management of patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS; Latin sclerosis lateralis amyotrophica, SLA). Depending on the clinical variant of ALS, speech disturbances may be the first disease manifestation or appear later in the disease course. In the differential diagnosis, it is useful to assess the type of dysarthria as well as describe the severity and profile of other deficits, such as dysphagia and aphasia. Assessment performed by a speech and language therapist is an ancillary examination in the differential diagnosis of clinical syndromes from frontotemporal lobar degeneration spectrum. Moreover, it enables devising optimal communication strategies and individualized therapeutic programme, not only applicable at a given disease stage but also aiming to support communication and prevent dysphagia.

Examination of Alalia Prolongata – a Methodological Proposal

The issue of delayed speech development requires extensive and in-depth research. It is estimated that about 10% of children are affected by delayed speech development. It is therefore a common but still insufficiently examined and described disorder. Within the field of study connected with delayed speech development, one can distinguish a disorder known as alalia prolongata which includes cases of language development delays without concrete reasons for their incidence. The present article puts forward a methodological proposal for examining language skills of 6-year-old children with alalia prolongata against children that meet the biological standard. It presents the state of research on delayed speech development and theoretical assumptions adopted for the purpose of the research. The presented method consists in the use of our own tool for assessing the language skills of children with delayed speech development, as well as children who fall into the biological norm category. This research shall make it possible to demonstrate the depth of disproportion in the language development of children at the same age and shall allow for a full diagnosis of children with alalia prolongata.

Language: PL | Published: 10-01-2023 | Abstract | pp. 1-22

The article discusses various concepts of the norm in speech-language therapy. The aim of the article is to present the complexity of the topic. The author considers various determinants of linguistic and communicative behaviour in the verbal form and the related methods of describing the norm. The essential requirement for correct diagnosis and therapy of persons with speech disorders of various aetiologies is knowledge and experience sufficient to determine the meaning of individual terms designating the disorders, taking into account interdisciplinary methods of defining the norm. This explains also the importance of ensuring proper standards of education allowing to perform independent, correct and reliable diagnosis and speech-language therapy.

Music and music playing in defeating communication and linguistic difficulties at autistic children Autism in spite of so many studies and experiments that take in recent years, there remains still the subject of lively discussion. Often, even disputes as to its complex, controversial nature. Numerous studies, which so far are involving many specialists approached much science to know this extraordinary phenomenon. Their results allowed after all, the development of many wellknown and accepted in the world of programs to stimulate the development of children and young people affected by the said disorder. The effectiveness of many methods but still not satisfied enough to satisfy the expectations of parents and teachers. Recent years have indeed resulted in a distinct change for the better, especially in terms of attitudes towards children with a diagnosis of autism, as well as their parents, but it seems to be far too little compared to the needs. This changed not only the attitude of society, but also the position of perceiving education authorities and health educational needs of children with autism. It turns out that children with a diagnosis of autism requires not only an adequate education, but also the systematic treatment multiprofile social support and rehabilitation of rational interaction. Hence, this study attempted to take this topic cognitive. The author makes an attempt to stimulate social development of children with a diagnosis of autism, the fun with singing and music. The results confirmed the validity of the assumptions that children affected by autism can be incorporated into a play activity. They may be interested in movement and music. You can while having fun make contact with them. You can also without difficulty incorporate them into a peer group, and this is their great achievement.

The aim of this article is to emphasise some issues arising from the measures undertaken in the prevention of SARS CoV-2 (COVID-19), as commented from the perspective of a speech and language therapist. The consequences mentioned in the article may affect not only the speech and language therapist’s diagnosis and intervention, but also the everyday activities of educators and special educators, psychologists, or parents engaged in the verbal transmission of information or complex communication behaviour. The article focuses on the connection of the selected phenomena we identify in the context of the multimodal notion of perception, comprehension, and production of speech, which we adopt with regard to the paradigm shift of providing modern speech language therapy in various (educational, clinical, or counselling) environments. In order to do so, this paper employs the scientific results of phoniatrics, audiology, neurology, stomatology and orthodontics, psychology, and other disciplines connected to speech perception and production of verbal and nonverbal communication.

The Quantitative Analysis of Consonant Groups in Speech Therapy Diagnosis of Articulation Disorders

Ewa Binkuńska

Language: PL | Published: 23-12-2018 | Abstract | pp. 81-101

In the research on children’s articulation, several types of attempts to assess the implementation of phonemes are usually taken into account. An image questionnaire is a tool allowing us to study articulation. The purpose of using this kind of aid is to either indicate or exclude a speech disorder – in this case, for example, regarding the faulty implementation of individual phonemes. The article analyses quantitatively one of the phonological aspects of the lexical content of ten selected diagnostic tests used to study the articulation of children between the ages of three and seven. The studies include the occurrence of consonant groups, the attention to the position of the appearance of consonant clusters, their number in the lexical unit, and the quantity of consonant elements adjacent to each other.

Zespół psychoorganiczny w diagnozie i terapii logopedycznej

Jolanta Panasiuk

Language: PL | Published: 01-01-2015 | Abstract

Psychoorganic syndrome is a condition in which, due to the organic damage to brain structures, disorders of the patient’s behaviour occur, manifesting themselves in the socio-emotional, cognitive, and linguistic spheres. The symptoms of psychoorganic syndrome have different types of neuropathogenesis: they may be caused by toxic, infectious, vascular and traumatic factors. The existing descriptions of speech disorders concentrate upon the damage to different brain areas, usually focusing first of all on dysfunctions of the communication process, i.e. the programming of verbal utterances. In the case of psychoorganic syndrome, interaction disorders do not arise from strictly linguistic difficulties, but are caused by disorders of the controlling function of the word. Psychoorganic syndrome is usually diagnosed in adults, while brain injuries in the developmental age usually lead to mental development disorders. Psychiatric literature therefore makes a distinction into three forms of psychoorganic syndrome: in adults 1) characteropathy and 2) dementia, and in children 3) oligophrenia. In speech therapy there are developed standards of diagnostic and therapeutic management in the case of oligophrenia and some forms of dementia, but there are still no procedures for diagnosis and therapy of interactions in other forms of dementia and characteropathic disorders.

Jolanta Panasiuk

Language: PL | Published: 01-01-2014 | Abstract

The Locked-in syndrome and logopedic diagnosis and therapy The locked-in syndrome is a neurological condition that arises through different pathomechanisms resulting in damage to deep brain structures. The damage affects corticobulbar and corticospinal tracts, thereby causing the patient’s complete physical disability, with retained consciousness and full cognitive capability. Anarthria-type speech disorders occurring in patients with the locked-in syndrome require the use of alternative communication techniques in order to restore their ability to communicate with the world around them. The impossibility of interaction with the patient causes considerable diagnostic and therapeutic difficulties to neuro-speech therapists. Standards of speech-therapy management in locked-in syndrome cases and criteria for differentiating it from other syndromes have not yet been developed. There is an increasingly frequent need to rehabilitate patients with the locked-in syndrome, which has been caused by both improved standards of clinical treatment and the spread of knowledge about the syndrome itself and about the life situation of patients affected by it.

Linguistic Disorders in Alcohol Dependence: Representation and Dynamics

Urszula Ciszewska-Psujek

Language: PL | Published: 23-12-2018 | Abstract | pp. 56-80

Alcohol dependence is a chronic disease which damages many systems and organs. The toxic influence of alcohol on the central nervous system leads to the durable reduction of neurons and neural connections in number and size, especially those within the frontal structures, the limbic system, and the cerebellum. These changes result in cognitive impairments, including executive cognitive impairments, memory deficits, and emotional information processing disorder. Cognitive deficits, in turn, affect the way of understanding human reality and the possibility to represent it in language. The diagnosis of speech disorders among alcohol-dependent patients can be accomplished by evaluating their narrative skills. The article contains selected narrative statements of two men maintaining short- and medium-term alcohol abstinence, and the description of the exponents of a particular attitude and neurocompensatory mechanisms.

This article presents the results of research carried out to assess the potential non-auditory causes of articulation defects in deaf children. Who was tested were twenty people with hearing impairment between the ages of eleven and seventeen, whose functional hearing is 40 dB on average, as assessed on the basis of tonal audiometry in a free sound field. The study involved a questionnaire assessing the structure of the articulation apparatus, a questionnaire assessing the fitness and muscle tone of the articulation apparatus, and a questionnaire assessing functions (physiological functions) within the articulation apparatus. The obtained results point to the need for an in-depth diagnosis of articulation and its condition among deaf patients, the determination of pathomechanisms of sound disturbances in the assessed speech, and the inclusion of broadly understood preventive mechanisms derived from logopaedics in the therapeutic process.

Although intensive research on autism has been conducted since the second half of the 20th century, the etiology of this disorder and the criteria for its diagnosis still raise many doubts. The available literature on the subject makes it possible to learn about the axial symptoms of autism spectrum disorders, in particular language difficulties, deficits in the sphere of social contacts as well as sensory disorders and motor mannerisms. The present paper presents the results of the research and analysis conducted for the PhD dissertation on the interactive skills of children with autism. The text describes the pragmatic, informational and emotional agility manifested in interactive behavior of autistic children aged 6-9 who cannot speak.

Opieka logopedyczna w przebiegu zaburzeń psychicznych – kwestie teoretyczne

Ewa Hrycyna

Language: PL | Published: 22-12-2019 | Abstract | pp. 51-70

The article focuses on the theoretical frame of the speech therapy care problem in various mental illnesses. It presents psychiatric disorders particularly associated with speech and communication problems and diversifies the character of speech disorders in psychiatry, indicating that they can oscillate between variously intensified language pathology and different ways of thinking and speaking; as such, they may be permanent or may disappear spontaneously after the episode of the disease is managed. The study defines the relationship between speech and mental disorders, and lists their short- and long-term effects in mental illnesses. Subsequently, it proceeds to circumscribe the place of a speech therapist in an interdisciplinary team, specifies what the logopaedic diagnosis in the process of a mental disorder is, and indicates other roles of a speech therapist in the broadly understood diagnostic and therapeutic process, e.g. the preventive one. The article formulates general goals and guidelines for speech therapy in mental disorders and discusses those aspects of the treatment which are closely related to the patient and the place of speech therapy care. The article concludes that speech pathologists in psychiatry have a chance to consolidate their position. The conditions which have to be met in order to do so are: the profound description and interpretation of speech disorders in psychiatry, the balanced assessment of diagnostic and therapeutic possibilities, and cooperation within an interdisciplinary team.

Lateralizacja funkcji językowych u pacjentów z pierwotnymi nowotworami OUN. Lokalizacja pierwotnie rozproszona, transfer międzypółkulowy, czy różnice interpersonalne

Agnieszka Rożek

Language: PL | Published: 01-01-2015 | Abstract

There are still many controversies concerning the location of cortical functional areas involved in speech processes. It has been proved that brain plasticity mechanisms enable the transfer of functions between areas located in the same hemisphere as well as through the commissural fibres system to the opposite hemisphere. The originally distributed location of functional areas may also exist simultaneously in both hemispheres. The aim of this study was twofold: to analyse speech problems occurring in patients treated for primary tumours of the CNS and to attempt to correlate symptoms with the location of damage. The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), The Right Hemisphere Language Battery – Polish version (RHLB-PL) and the neurologopaedic diagnosis were used for evaluation. The authors present the preliminary results of a group of twenty patients with primary brain tumours.

Communication of children and adolescents with cerebral palsy and intellectual disability in the context of quality of life assessment

Ewa Boksa

Language: PL | Published: 29-12-2020 | Abstract | pp. 1-27

The paper describes the research carried out on the group of 33 students of Rehabilitation, Education and Educational Center in Kielce (23 boys, 10 girls), between 9 and 19 years of age. All subjects were diagnosed with cerebral palsy and intellectual disability. The aim of the study was to determine the communication level of people with intellectual and motor disabilities as well as the impact of these disabilities on their quality of life. The results showed that the main disruptive factor in the communication process was intellectual disability. Motor dysfunction, the basic symptom of cerebral palsy, primarily affects the way of communication, but not its quality. Communication diagnosis (CFCS) oriented towards the implementation of pragmatic functions in the communication of people with multiple disabilities enables such planning of therapy for people with cerebral palsy to simultaneously improve and control their quality of life.

New media in communication – challenges and needs

Małgorzata Bereźnicka

Language: PL | Published: 06-08-2021 | Abstract | pp. 1-22

The article delineates the changes that have taken place as a result of the use of new media, especially the Internet, in the context of the development of information and communication technologies, and describes the differences between classical communication and web contacts. The most common types of Internet threats and the ambiguous influence of online contacts on the social life of an individual are discussed. It is emphasised that new media have numerous advantages, but they can also cause risky situations, and therefore it is necessary to provide education in this area, especially (but not only) to young generations. Further multifaceted research is also recommended to enable the diagnosis of the changing reality and develop solutions to problems related to the use of information and communication technologies.

Language: PL | Published: 27-10-2020 | Abstract | pp. 1-21

The aim of the study was to evaluate the functioning of patients with swallowing disorders after total laryngectomy. The study initially included 20 patients who were more than 6 months after total laryngectomy, requiring videofluoroscopy (VFSS) due to reported dysphagia. The final group consisted of 10 people (8 men and 2 women). The examination procedure included conducting an interview, performing a full VFSS examination and completing the MDADI questionnaire by the patient. The most common problems found in the group were the lack of contact of the base of tongue with the posterior wall of the throat, disturbances in bolus formation and pumping movements of the tongue. The patients assessed their quality of life as low. The presence or absence of nasal food regurgitation significantly influenced the functioning of patients. Patients’ reports of swallowing disorders and problems with the production of voice and substitute speech are indications for further diagnosis (e.g. VFSS). The choice of an effective therapeutic method may improve the quality of life of these people.

The dynamics of the regression of aphasic disorders in a stroke patient

Kamila Bigos

Language: PL | Published: 21-10-2020 | Abstract | pp. 1-45

The most common diseases causing language difficulties of aphasia type include cerebral vascular diseases, including ischaemic strokes. Speech disorders resulting from brain damage are usually dynamic. The clinical picture, and further on, the effective diagnosis and speech therapy of a patient after a neurological incident, is thus greatly influenced both by the circumstances in which the patient found himself and the time factor. The paper presents the dynamics of aphasic disorders in a patient after ischaemic stroke within the left hemisphere. The aim is to draw attention to the changes in the image of aphasic disorders in a 63-year-old man after a neurological incident in which semantic aphasia was diagnosed, which is the evidence of differences in the occurrence of symptoms (including aphasic disorders) in the patient immediately after the stroke and over a dozen months after the incident, after an of intensive speech therapy.

Jolanta Panasiuk

Language: PL | Published: 23-12-2018 | Abstract | pp. 105-138

Epilepsy in children leads to disorders in their psychomotor development or the loss of their acquired skills. Successful pharmacological treatment of epilepsy provides grounds for effective therapeutic measures. The goal of this article is to present the dynamics of neurodevelopmental disorders in the course of the severe symptomatic epilepsy with status epileptici which affected a 10-year-old girl. As a result of longitudinal studies, four stages were distinguished which determined the dynamics of development of the disease: 1) up to the age of 10, when the child’s psychomotor development proceeded correctly, 2) between the ages of 10 and 15, when, because of epilepsy, the disorders in the cognitive, linguistic, emotional, behavioural, motor, and vegetative spheres occurred, which assumed the form of profound dementia, 3) between the ages of 16 and 17, when the balance of the bioelectric activity of the brain was achieved owing to the optimisation of pharmacological treatment, 4) between the ages of 17 and 25, when, after the multi-specialist therapy, there was a significant improvement in the functioning of all the disordered spheres, which enabled the patient to finish junior and senior high school, apply to a university, obtain very good results in learning, and to achieve spectacular successes in sport.
