Communicating using the eyes without remembering it: cognitive rehabilitation in a severely brain-injured patient with amnesia, tetraplegia and anarthria.

30 Mar 2009 We describe here a case of cognitive rehabilitation in a young patient with closed head injury, who had dense anterograde amnesia and such disabling neurological defects (tetraplegia and anarthria) that the condition evoked some features of an ... Read more...

Oral diadochokinesis and velocity of narrative speech: a prognostic parameter for the outcome of diffuse axonal injury in severe head trauma.

30 Aug 2008 AIM: To investigate dysarthria in severe traumatic brain injury following an acceleration/deceleration trauma and to correlate results with the severity of head trauma. METHODS: Oral diadochokinesis by testing alternating (/pa/, /ta/and/ka/) and ... Read more...

An integrated evaluation of nonspeech oral motor treatments.

29 Jun 2008 PURPOSE: This article functions as an epilogue to the clinical forum examining the use of nonspeech oral motor treatments (NSOMTs) to remediate speech sound disorders in children. METHOD: Conclusions to eight clinical questions are formed based on ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Dysarthria'

Definition: Disorders of speech articulation caused by imperfect coordination of pharynx, larynx, tongue, or face muscles. This may result from CRANIAL NERVE DISEASES; NEUROMUSCULAR DISEASES; CEREBELLAR DISEASES; BASAL GANGLIA DISEASES; BRAIN STEM diseases; or diseases of the corticobulbar tracts (see PYRAMIDAL TRACTS). The cortical language centers are intact in this condition. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p489)
