Dysarthria
Dysarthria is a
speech disorder resulting from
neurological injury, characterised by poor articulation (cf
aphasia: disorder of the content of speech). Any of the speech subsystems (
respiration,
phonation,
resonance,
prosody,
articulation and movements of jaw and tongue) can be affected. Disarthic speech is due to some disorder in the nervous system, which in turn hinders control over for example tongue, throat, lips or lungs. Swallowing problems,
dysphagia, are often present.Cranial nerves that control these muscles include the
facial nerve (VII), the
glossopharyngeal nerve (IX), the
vagus nerve (X), and the
hypoglossal nerve (XII).
