Hyperkinetic dysarthria is a type of motor speech disorder associated with involuntary movements that affect the muscles involved in speech production. These movements are due to abnormalities in the basal ganglia or related neural pathways, which are involved in regulating motor control and ensuring smooth, coordinated movements. Here are some key aspects of hyperkinetic dysarthria:
Causes
Hyperkinetic dysarthria can arise from various neurological conditions that affect the basal ganglia or its connections. Some common causes include:
Huntington's disease: A genetic disorder that causes the progressive breakdown of nerve cells in the brain.
Tourette syndrome: A condition characterized by repetitive, involuntary movements and vocalizations (tics).
Dystonia: A movement disorder causing involuntary muscle contractions leading to twisting and repetitive movements or abnormal postures.
Chorea: Involuntary, rapid, and irregular movements, often seen in conditions like Sydenham's chorea or as a side effect of certain medications.
Medications: Certain drugs, such as antipsychotics, can cause tardive dyskinesia, which includes involuntary movements and can affect speech.
Wilson's disease: A rare genetic disorder leading to copper accumulation in the brain, liver, and other tissues.
Symptoms
The symptoms of hyperkinetic dysarthria are characterized by various involuntary movements that can disrupt normal speech patterns. These symptoms may include:
Irregular articulatory breakdowns: Inconsistent and unpredictable speech errors.
Variable speech rate: Fluctuations in the speed of speech, with sudden accelerations or decelerations.
Voice tremor: Rhythmic fluctuations in pitch and loudness.
Sudden changes in loudness or pitch: Abrupt shifts that are involuntary.
Involuntary movements: These may include tics, dystonic movements, chorea, or myoclonus affecting the face, jaw, tongue, or respiratory muscles.
Diagnosis
Diagnosis of hyperkinetic dysarthria involves several steps:
Clinical evaluation: A neurologist or speech-language pathologist will assess the patient's speech characteristics, medical history, and neurological status.
Observation of involuntary movements: Identifying the type, frequency, and pattern of movements can help determine the underlying cause.
Neuroimaging: MRI or CT scans to look for structural abnormalities in the brain.
Genetic testing: Especially if conditions like Huntington's disease or Wilson's disease are suspected.
Treatment
Treatment for hyperkinetic dysarthria focuses on managing the underlying condition and improving speech function. Approaches may include:
Medications: Drugs to manage the underlying neurological condition or reduce involuntary movements. For example, anticholinergic medications, muscle relaxants, or medications specific to the disorder (like tetrabenazine for Huntington's disease).
Speech therapy: Techniques to improve speech clarity and communication, such as:
Rate control: Strategies to slow down speec
1. Hyperkinetic dysarthria is caused by abnormalities in the basal ganglia or related brain areas that control movement, resulting in involuntary movements that interfere with speech.
2. Various conditions can cause hyperkinetic movements like chorea, myoclonus, tics, and dystonia which impact speech differently based on the affected muscles.
3. Speech is impacted by imprecise articulation, irregular prosody, and voice and respiratory issues depending on the specific condition and location of involuntary movements in the brain and body.
This document discusses hyperkinetic dysarthria, which refers to speech impairments caused by involuntary movements affecting the basal ganglia. Hyperkinetic dysarthria can result from conditions that cause chorea, myoclonus, tics, essential tremor, or dystonia. These conditions are characterized by unpredictable and uncontrollable movements of the muscles involved in speech. Chorea specifically involves smooth, dancing-like movements and can be caused by disorders like Sydenham's chorea, stroke, or tardive dyskinesia. Dystonia causes sustained, abnormal muscle contractions and can affect the neck (spasmodic torticollis), face, or vocal folds (spasmodic dysph
This document provides an overview of movement disorders, including their classification into different classes (tremor, dystonia, chorea, etc.). It then describes the key features and common causes of several specific movement disorders, including rest tremor, postural tremor, dystonia, chorea, tardive dyskinesia, ballism, tics, and myoclonus. Videos are included to demonstrate examples of some of these movement disorders. The document emphasizes that movement disorders represent clinical signs rather than diagnoses, and an approach is needed to determine the class of movement disorder and whether it is primary or secondary.
The document discusses the definition, classification, features, and pathophysiology of dystonia. It is classified based on age of onset, distribution, and etiology. Primary dystonias have no known underlying brain lesion and can be hereditary or idiopathic in nature, while secondary dystonias have an identifiable cause such as drugs, toxins, or other neurological conditions. The pathophysiology of primary dystonias involves subtle changes in neuronal signaling and communication in basal ganglia circuits that lead to abnormal patterns of muscle contraction.

Precise definitions can be difficult, and treatment may involve addressing the root cause in addition to specific therapies for symptom management.
Movement disorders encompass a spectrum of abnormal involuntary movements that can arise from lesions throughout the central nervous system or be associated with medical conditions. They include myoclonus, ballismus, chorea, athetosis, and dystonia. While sometimes difficult to distinguish, they often overlap and can have similar underlying causes such as genetic disorders, drugs, vascular events, and metabolic derangements. Treatment involves managing underlying conditions when possible and may include medications like valproic acid or botulinum toxin injections.
Dystonia is a neurological movement disorder characterized by involuntary muscle contractions that cause abnormal, repetitive movements or postures. It results from abnormalities in the basal ganglia region of the brain that controls movement. Dystonia can affect people of all ages and ethnicities. Symptoms may include twisting, repetitive motions, or abnormal positions of the arms, legs, trunk, face or vocal cords. It can be classified by age of onset, affected body areas, and underlying cause (primary/secondary). Treatment involves botulinum toxin injections, medications, physiotherapy, and sometimes surgery to interrupt pathways in the nervous system responsible for the abnormal movements.
This document outlines the evaluation and management of hypotonia in infants. It defines hypotonia and differentiates between central and peripheral causes. A systematic approach is recommended, considering history, examination findings, and localization of the problem. Central hypotonia is more common and may be due to brain abnormalities, genetic disorders, or insults. Peripheral hypotonia involves the nerves or muscles and presents with profound weakness. Further testing can help distinguish conditions like spinal muscular atrophy or myopathies. A thorough evaluation is key to establishing the cause and guiding treatment.
This document defines psychogenic movement disorders and outlines their diagnostic criteria. It discusses the two divisions of movement disorders - extrapyramidal and hyperkinetic disorders. Various types of movement disorders are identified and categorized, including tremors, dystonia, myoclonus, chorea, athetosis, and restless leg syndrome.

It describes the clinical manifestations and pathophysiology of each disorder and discusses treatment options. The disorders represent a spectrum of involuntary movements that can overlap and are often difficult to classify precisely. Accurate diagnosis relies on identifying structural lesions or genetic/environmental causes in the basal ganglia-thalamic motor circuits.
Strange and abnormal movements are hallmarks of movement disorders, which are neurological diseases characterized by involuntary movements. The movements allow observers to suggest proper diagnoses and include tremors, chorea, athetosis, dystonia, hemiballismus, and more. EEG findings vary depending on the specific movement disorder and location of involvement in the central nervous system.
This document provides information about spasmodic dysphonia, a neurological voice disorder characterized by involuntary contractions of the laryngeal muscles during speech. It defines the main types as adductor or abductor spasmodic dysphonia. Diagnosis involves a team evaluating the patient's voice symptoms, medical history, and performing examinations like laryngoscopy and speech testing to differentiate it from other causes of voice problems. While the exact cause is unknown, it is thought to involve abnormal functioning of the basal ganglia and its effects on motor control of the larynx during speech.

Relevant investigations are then determined based on the differential diagnosis.
This presentation contains information regarding stuttering (a type of disfluency). Its definition, characteristics, onset and management/intervention.
Tourette's syndrome is a chronic disorder characterized by both motor and vocal tics that typically begin between ages 6-10. It is diagnosed based on criteria from the DSM-IV including multiple motor and vocal tics occurring daily for over a year. Tics are involuntary movements or sounds that can be simple or complex. The cause is believed to be abnormal brain signaling. Lying down was found to effectively reduce vocal tics compared to an upright position, possibly by attenuating sensory stimulation from the tics.
Tourette Syndrome is a neurological disorder characterized by repetitive, involuntary movements and vocalizations called tics. It typically begins in childhood and involves basal ganglia circuits in the brain. Tics can be motor or vocal, simple or complex. While tics wax and wane, Tourette Syndrome is lifelong. Over 90% of those diagnosed have additional conditions such as ADHD, OCD, or anxiety. Management is multi-faceted and includes therapy, education, behavioral techniques, and sometimes medication to improve functioning.
Movement disorders By Dr Tomser Ali, international school of medicineneestom1998
Movement disorders are impairments of voluntary motor activity that are not due to direct effects on strength, sensation, or cerebellar function. They include hyperkinetic disorders with abnormal involuntary movements and hypokinetic disorders with poverty of movement. Movement disorders result from dysfunction of the basal ganglia. Parkinson's disease is a neurodegenerative disease involving depletion of dopaminergic neurons in the basal ganglia, particularly the substantia nigra. Its symptoms include bradykinesia, resting tremor, and rigidity. Pathologically, it involves the loss of substantia nigra neurons and formation of Lewy bodies containing aggregated alpha-synuclein protein.

5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT or Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that serves a range of roles in the human body. It is sometimes referred to as the happy chemical since it promotes overall well-being and happiness.
It is mostly found in the brain, intestines, and blood platelets.
5-HT is utilised to transport messages between nerve cells, is known to be involved in smooth muscle contraction, and adds to overall well-being and pleasure, among other benefits. 5-HT regulates the body's sleep-wake cycles and internal clock by acting as a precursor to melatonin.
It is hypothesised to regulate hunger, emotions, motor, cognitive, and autonomic processes.

2. Hyperkinetic Dysarthria
Associated with diseases or damage to
basal ganglia control circuit.
Can manifest in all speech sub system but
has prominent effects on prosody.
This type of dysarthria is caused due to
abnormal movements that can occur to
different parts of body. Deviant speech
characteristics are product of abnormal
involuntary movements that disturb rhythm
and rate of motor activities
4. Cont’d
In hyper kinetic ,movements are extra/excess and always
involuntry.These movement disorder disappear during
sleep and increase with stimulation.
Some major type of hyperkinesias are;
Chorea
Dyskinesia
Tics disorder
Ballism
Myoclonus
Athetosis
Dystonia
5. CHOREA
It is characterized by rapid, random,
purposeless, involuntary, irregular movement of
a body part i.e. hand, head, face, tongue, legs
diaphragm etc.
It may be present at rest, during sustained
posture and voluntary movement.
Chorea can be cause by inflammatory for
example (sydenham’s chorea) or degenerative
(Huntington chorea or toxic conditions wilson’s
disease, dopaminergic medications ,strokes
and during pregnancy etc.
6. Chorea: As dancelike, because the
movements appear to be smooth and
coordinated, but they are actually
unpredictable and purposeless
7. Speech Characteristic in
Chorea
Voluntary movement of all muscles are susceptible to interference
from involuntary movements so all of processes of speech are
affected.
Phonation/
respiration
Sudden forced inspiration expiration.voice stoppage,strained harsh voice
quality, loudness variation, transient breathiness
Resonance Hyper nasality (intermittent)
Articulation Distortion ,slow and irregular AMRs
Prosody Prolonged intervals and phonemes, variable rate, inappropriate silences,
variable pattern of stress
Physical Quick, unpattrened involuntary head/neck, jaw, face, tongue, palate,
pharyngeal, laryngeal, thoracic-abdominal movements at rest, during
sustained postures and movement .Dysphagia
Patient’s
complaint
inability to “get speech out,” involuntary orofacial movements Chewing
and swallowing problems
8. DYSKINESIA
It is a general term used to refer to abnormal
,involuntary movements. It sometimes refer to
abnormal movements that are restricted to certain
body parts.
Oro facial dyskinesia
Involuntary movements of mouth, face, tongue and
jaw that can occur without hyperkinesias elsewhere
in the body. This can occur due to prolonged use of
psychotic medicine (Tardive dyskinesia ) or can be
hereditary .
9. Tardive dyskinesia
a. Means late appearing involuntary
movements
b. Can cause choreic movement to the
face, mouth, and neck; lip smacking,
tongue protrusions, chewing motions and
grimacing
10. Akathisia
A subjective sense of motor
restlessness and is often confused with
psychotic agitation. It may be
characterized by overt restlessness like
shifting position, rubbing scalp or limbs.
11. Myoclonus
a. Involuntary and brief contractions of a part
of a muscle, a whole muscle or a group of
muscles in the same area of the body. The
contractions may occur singly, or in a
repeating irregular pattern or rhythmically
b. It can be found in cases of many medical
conditions: kidney failure, epilepsy, anoxia,
strokes, TBI, Alzheimer
12. Focal myoclonus (specific muscles or body
parts affected)
a. Hemifacial spasm (spasms around the
eye then spread to the entire face). It is a
common disorder and is painless but
causes embarrassment
13. b. Palatopharyngolaryngeal myoclonus:
Rare; the contractions are fairly
rhythmic and occur about 1-3 times
a second
Typical causes : brainstem strokes,
cerebellar lesions, encephalitis, and
tumors
14. Tic disorder
a. A tic is a rapid movement that can be
controlled voluntarily for a certain period
of time but is eventually performed
because of compulsive desire to do so
b. There are motor (eye blinking and
complex hand gestures and body
movements: jumping, kicking) and vocal
tics (throat clearing, shouting)
15. c. Stress increases frequency of tic
d. Etiology: mild brain damage, toxic
reactions, but no identifiable CNS
disorder in most cases
e. Idiopathic tics occur in about 10-12% of
the children in the form of excessive
eyeblinks for less than a month to
about one year, after which most
disappear
16. Gilles de la Tourette syndrome
a. The development of symptoms before
age 14
b. The slow appearance and
disappearance of symptoms
c. Tic behaviors that change and evolve
over time
17. e. Minor neurological abnormalities.
f. Causes: supersensitive dopamine
receptors in the striatum
g. Genetic link; all show symptoms by
age 10; prevalence 3/100,000; boys
more affected
h. Vocal tics include
18. Essential tremor (organic tremor)
sometimes called familial tremor
a. Most common hyperkinetic movement
disorder (300/100,000)
b. Benign movement disorder that begins
as a tremulous movement; action
tremor affected by stress and fatigue;
progression is slow
19. c. Appears to be idiopathic; beginning at
age 40-50; genetic
d. Mostly affects hands, arms, or head;
e. has been associated with Hemifacial
spasm and focal dystonia
20. BALLISM
Rare hyperkinetic disorder characterized by involuntary , wide-
amplitude, vigorous & flailing movement of limbs ,when
unilateral known as hemiballism
Hemiballism usually remit spontaneously after a period of
days—months and can be treated successfully with meds
Facial muscles may be affected
Least important hyperkinetic disorder with regard to occurrence
of hyperkinetic dysarthria
Lesion in subthalmic nucleus
21. ATHETOSIS
Rare disorder, mostly seen with putamen
involvement characterized by an inability to maintain
a body part in a single position due to Slow
hyperkinetic disorder characterized by continuous,
purposeless , slow movements that tend to flow one
into another
Muscles of face , neck & tongue leading to facial
grimacing , writhing of tongue & problems with
speaking & swallowing
Athetotic and choreicform movements sometimes
combine with one another and known as
choreoathetosis
22. Dystonia
a. Abnormal muscle tone causing
involuntary, prolonged muscle contractions
that interfere with normal movement or
posture; may affect a single group of
muscles or multiple groups
b. Movement is more sustained and slower
than chorea
23. c. Dystonia is not necessarily
constant and may appear/disappear
during a movement (waxing and
waning). Severe cases: contractions
can be constant resulting in painful,
fixed contractions of affected body
part
24. Types of dystonia
Focal dystonia:
Involves only one body part: hand, tongue, etc
Segmental dystonia
Affects two or more parts of body: face and jaw
Hemidystonia:
Two or more body parts on same side of body
Generalized dystonia:
involve all four limbs
25. Etiologies of Conditions where
dystonia is the primary symptom
a. Spasmodic torticollis: characterized by
intermittent (sometimes no contraction is
evident) dystonic contractions of the neck
muscles which result in an involuntary
turning of the head; the head also usually
tilts upward as a result of the
contractions; stress and anxiety affects
frequency; speech is slow in rate, mildly
reduced in intelligibility and lower in pitch
for females
26. c. Meige’s syndrome: Rare idiopathic
disease; characterized by repetitive eye
blinking and abnormal facial movement
that are often dystonic in nature; appears
in early middle age and gets progressively
worse such that functional vision is
impossible.
When the jaw, tongue, mouth and neck are
sufficiently strong they cause
hyperkinetic. D
27. d. Spasmodic dysphonia: Not always classified
as a dystonia (sometime essential tremor);
characterized by involuntary vocal fold
movements during phonation. Unlike focal
dystonia SD does not have a gradual waxing and
waning but are vigorous and active
Expressed as adductor (vocal folds either
constantly adducted giving a strained quality or
intermittently giving a jerky tight quality or a
shaky quality) or abductor vocal folds are
involuntarily abducted resulting in moments of
breathiness or aphonia
28. Speech characteristics
Phonation/respiration Strained-harsh voice quality, voice stoppages, audible
inspiration, excess loudness variations, alternation
loudness, voice tremor
Resonance hypernasality
Articulation Distorted vowels, irregular articulatory breakdowns, slow
irregular AMRs
Prosody Inappropriate silences, excess loudness variations,
excessive-inefficient-variable patters of stress
Physical Relatively slow, waxing and waning head-neck, jaw,
face, tongue, palate, pharyngeal, laryngeal, thoracic-
abdominal movements Present at rest, during sustained
postures and movement, but sometimes only during
speech, dysphagia
Patient’s complaints Effortful speech, inability to “get speech out, “involuntary
orofacial movements Chewing and swallowing problems
(food “sticks” in throat)
29. How can we distinguish speech
characteristics of dystonia from
chorea?
More errors of
articulation in
dystonia than in
chorea
Imprecise
consonants,
distorted vowels
and irregular
articulatory
breakdown
Chorea displayed
more prosodic
errors than those
with dystonia
Generally dystonia
had more
articulatory
problems and
chorea has more
prosodic errors
30. Management
Mostly medication that suppress the
involuntary movements
Choreic and tic: Haloperidol
Myoclonic jerks clonazepam or valproic
SD and spasmodic torticollis: Botox (most
effective)
31. Behavioral treatment on trial period for those
not too severely affected:
a. Locate sensory tricks
Neck dystonia (Cervical dystonia or spasmodic
torticollis)
Touching the chin, back of the head, neck. cheek
or upper face gently can help with neck dystonia
(torticollis)
The touch is usually (but not always) more effective
on the side of the head with the dystonia.
Reclining or sitting with head support.
Resting the head against a wall..
Looking at a fixed point or into a mirror
32. Eye dystonia
Use a tight baseball cap, hair band around the forehead.
Put your head back – close your eyes, or look down.
Go in a dark place and try to relax.
Gum chewing, whistling, humming, talking, sucking on a
straw or singing sometimes keep the eyes open in order
to do activities.
Reading aloud.
Looking down (some people find gardening or cooking
helpful because they involve looking down).
33. Voice dystonia (Laryngeal
dystonia or spasmodic dysphonia)
Vocal exercise (humming, speaking slowly, reciting
nursery rhymes)
Volume control (talking softly or loudly)
Feeling relaxed
Breathing deeper breaths, exhaling before
speaking, not holding onto the breath
Environmental control (talking one-on-one, not
being interrupted)
Using voice early in the morning
Physical exercise (need to check exercise is
appropriate with doctor before trying)
34. Mouth or jaw (Oromandibular) dystonia
Activities like speaking and chewing
reduce symptoms (for others they can
make it worse)
For jaw spasms – a toothpick, chewing
gum, or sucking a boiled sweet has helped
some people.
Bite blocks (focal dystonic jaw movements
to stabilize the jaw during speech (seems
to suppress dystonic jaw movements)
If the mouth is dry, saliva replacement
gel use. This is available on prescription
either via the doctor or dentist.
35. Relaxation therapy and related
treatment
1. Mental imagery
2. Habit reversal
d. Easy onset of phonation for
laryngeal involuntary movements
Editor's Notes
Habit reversal training (HRT) is an evidence-based highly effective behavioral therapy for people with unwanted repetitive behaviors or habits. HRT works on behaviors such as: tics, hair pulling, nail biting, and skin picking to name a few, and is appropriate for people at any age. Often we don’t really understand what is driving our behaviors (like relief from urges or feelings) until we look for them with the help of a professional,
Awareness,competing response,motivation, relaxation and generalization.
