Speech disorders after brain damages (Aphasia)

People who suffer from aphasia have lost parts of or all of their speaking abilities. It is usually caused by a stroke, a brain hemorrhage or a head injury. The people affected often have problems to find the right words or cannot construct a complete sentence. Usually it is also difficult for them to understand spoken language. But the disorder does not only impair the expression and understanding of spoken language but also other areas such as reading and writing.

Dysarthria

Dysarthria is a speech disorder caused by weak, uncoordinated or paralyzed muscles needed for speaking. People who suffer from dysarthria mumble and have a slurred pronunciation. However, they understand spoken language, can find the right words and have no problems with reading. Dysarthria is often accompanied by other diseases, such as Morbus Parkinson, amyothrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), multiple sclerosis (MS) or a craniocerebral trauma after an accident.

Apraxia of speech

Verbal apraxia is a speech disorder in which a person has trouble saying what he or she wants to say correctly. This means people affected by this problem cannot come up with the right speaking order in their brain. It is not due to weak or paralyzed speech muscles because these work perfectly.

Difficulties with swallowing (Dysphagia)

People who suffer from dysphagia have problems swallowing or can hardly swallow at all. They often choke on food, liquids or saliva. Difficulties with swallowing can be the result of an operation or brain damage or can be caused by another degenerative health condition, such as multiple sclerosis (MS) or Morbus Parkinson.
