  2. Dysarthria - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dysarthria

    Dysarthria is a speech sound disorder resulting from neurological injury of the motor component of the motor–speech system [1] and is characterized by poor articulation of phonemes. [2] It is a condition in which problems effectively occur with the muscles that help produce speech, often making it very difficult to pronounce words.

  3. Speech and language impairment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speech_and_language_impairment

    Dysarthria is a motor speech disorder that results from a neurological injury. Neurodegenerative conditions like Parkinson's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and progressive supranuclear palsy frequently transpire in association with dysarthria. [6] Some stem from central damage, while other stem from peripheral nerve damage.

  4. Motor speech disorders - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_speech_disorders

    Dysarthria is the reduced ability to motor plan volitional movements needed for speech production as the result of weakness/paresis and/or paralysis of the musculature of the oral mechanism needed for respiration, phonation, resonance, articulation, and/or prosody.

  5. Speech disorder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speech_disorder

    Dysarthria is a weakness or paralysis of speech muscles caused by damage to the nerves or brain. Dysarthria is often caused by strokes, Parkinson's disease, [9] ALS, head or neck injuries, surgical accident, or cerebral palsy. Aphasia; Dysprosody is an extremely rare neurological speech disorder. It is characterized by alterations in intensity ...

  6. Flaccid dysarthria - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flaccid_dysarthria

    Flaccid dysarthria is a motor speech disorder resulting from damage to peripheral nervous system (cranial or spinal nerves) or lower motor neuron system. Depending on which nerves are damaged, flaccid dysarthria affects respiration, phonation, resonance, and articulation. It also causes weakness, hypotonia (low-muscle tone), and diminished ...

  7. Dysprosody - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dysprosody

    The most common types of dysprosody are associated with dysarthria and developmental coordination disorder, which affect motor processing in speech. Among the most studied types are: Flaccid dysarthria is characterized by little control over pitch and voice volume, reduced speech rate, and impaired voice quality

  8. Dysexecutive syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dysexecutive_syndrome

    The term was introduced by Alan Baddeley [2] [3] to describe a common pattern of dysfunction in executive functions, such as planning, abstract thinking, flexibility and behavioural control. It is thought to be Baddeley's hypothesized working memory system and the central executive that are the hypothetical systems impaired in DES. [ 2 ]

  9. Scanning speech - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scanning_speech

    Scanning speech is a type of ataxic dysarthria in which spoken words are broken up into separate syllables, often separated by a noticeable pause, and spoken with varying force. [1] The sentence "Walking is good exercise", for example, might be pronounced as "Walk (pause) ing is good ex (pause) er (pause) cise".
