• Spasticity


  Velocity dependent Increased muscle tone with hyperactivity of tendon reflexes
• Cortical Deafness


  Inability to discriminate sounds
• Pure Word Deafness


  Inability to discriminate words
• Tactile Agnosia


  Inability to recognize familiar objects by touch
• Apperceptive Agnosia


  Abnormality in the discrimination process
• Associative Agnosia


  Inability to link the fully-discriminated stimulus
• Color Agnosia


  Disturbance in responding to color stimuli
• Prosopagnosia


  Disturbance in recognizing faces
• Ideational Apraxia


  Lack of basic plan for movements, posterior half of the dominant hemisphere
• Ideomotor Apraxia


  Most frequently encountered form, motor behavior intact when executed spontaneously but faulty attempted in response to verbal command.
• Limb Kinetic or Innervatory Apraxia


  Disorganized attempted movements. Clumsy
• Pure Word Mutism


  Losses all the capacity to speak while retaining the ability to write
• Anomic Aphasia


  Loss of ability to name objects
• Transcortical Aphasia


  Deficit in auditory and visual word comprehension
• Conduction Aphasia


  Fluency and paraphasia in self-initiated speech
• Pure Word Blindness


  Loss of ability to read
• Global or Total Aphasia


  Severe impairment in all language modalities
• Anomic Aphasia


  Most striking in her loss of words both orally and in writing
• Motor or Broca's Aphasia


  Deficit in language output or speech production
• Sensory or Wernicke's Aphasia


  Impairment in comprehension of speech
• Hyperkinetic Dysarthria


  Imprecise consonants, Prolong intervals and variable rate
• Mixed Dysarthria


  Variable characteristics secondary to both UMNL and LMNL
• Ataxic Dysarthria


  Irregular articulatory breakdown
• Hypokinetic Dysarthria


  Monopitch and reduced stress
• Flaccid Dysarthria


  •Breathy voice quality and hypernasality.

  •Lower Motor Neurons Lesion
• Spastic Dysarthria


  •Strained voice quality and slow rate.

  •Upper Motor Lesion
• Dysarthria


  Defect in articulation with intact mental functions
• Dysarthria is a pure motor disorder of muscles of articulation
• Illusions are a perceptual misinterpretation
• Delirium is characterized by gross disorientation
• Dementia means deterioration of all intellectual and cognitive functions
• Act in articulation, with intact mental functions and normal comprehension and memory of words, thus able to understand spoken language, read & write, etc.
• Pure motor disorder


  Disorder of muscles of articulation
• Illusions


  A perceptual misinterpretation
• Delirium


  A type of confusional state characterized by gross disorientation in the presence of heightened alertness
• Dementia


  A deterioration of all intellectual and cognitive functions without disturbance of consciousness or perception
• Stammer


  Prolonged silence following a syllable
• Delusion


  False belief that is quite inappropriate to an individual's socio-cultural background
• Hallucination


  Perception occurring in the absence of any external stimuli
• Paragrammatism
