dysarthria/stroke

Introduction: Speech difficulties such as dysarthria or aphasia are frequently seen, in addition to motor impairments, in subjects after stroke. Evidence acquisition: Literature searches with the keywords: "stroke" AND

Dysarthria is a frequent and persisting sequel to stroke and arises from varied lesion locations. Although the presence of dysarthria is well documented, for stroke there are scant data on presentation and intervention outcome. A literature search was undertaken to evaluate (a) the features of

Although perceptual studies indicate the likelihood of voice disorders in persons with stroke, there have been few objective instrumental studies of voice dysfunction in dysarthria following stroke. This study reports automatic analysis of sustained vowel phonation for 61 speakers with stroke. The

Dysarthria is a common consequence of stroke and can have a detrimental influence on communication and quality of life. Speech-language pathologists (SLPs) play an important role in the evaluation and rehabilitation of stroke survivors who present with dysarthria. An understanding of the physiologic

Introduction: Speech difficulties, such as dysarthria or aphasia, in addition to motor impairments are frequently seen in post-stroke patients. Evidence acquisition: Literature

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the feasibility of a multicentre randomized controlled trial of ReaDySpeech, an online speech therapy programme for people with dysarthria. METHODS Feasibility randomized controlled trial, 2:1 minimization procedure. METHODS Four UK NHS services across hospital and

OBJECTIVE To explore the perceptions of people with stroke-related dysarthria in relation to the management and rehabilitation of dysarthria. METHODS Qualitative semi-structured interviews. METHODS Community setting Subjects: Twenty-four people with an acquired dysarthria as a result of a stroke in

Impairment of vowel production in dysarthria has been highly valued. This study aimed to explore the vowel production of Mandarin-speakers with post-stroke spastic dysarthria in connected speech and to explore the influence of gender and tone on the vowel production. Multiple vowel acoustic metrics,

BACKGROUND Post-stroke dysarthria rehabilitation should consider social participation for people with dysarthria, but before this approach can be adopted, an understanding of the psychosocial impact of dysarthria is required. Despite the prevalence of dysarthria as a result of stroke, there is a

Patients presenting with heat stroke may develop an acute pancerebellar syndrome. A patient presenting with an isolated cerebellar dysarthria after a heat stroke is reported. The dysarthria lasted two weeks. An isolated cerebellar dysarthria has been previously described in lesions of the paravermal

The authors describe six patients who presented with dysarthria as their isolated or major symptom from a small cortical stroke. Five had infarction and one had hemorrhage. In the patients with ischemic stroke, the lesions were identified by diffusion-weighted MRI but not by T-2 weighted MRI. The

This study investigated the impact of a well-defined behavioral dysarthria treatment on acoustic and perceptual measures of speech in four adults with dysarthria secondary to stroke. A single-subject A-B-A experimental design was used to measure the effects of the Lee Silverman Voice Treatment

BACKGROUND There are a few reports on the impact of central facial palsy and dysarthria on quality of life (QOL) in stroke patients. OBJECTIVE To investigate the impact of central facial palsy on QOL compared with dysarthria during the chronic phase in patients with first-ever strokes. METHODS This

Dysarthria is one of a number of communication problems that may occur following a stroke. The presence of dysarthria can affect both rehabilitation efforts as well as social and vocational adjustment. This article reviews methods of classifying the dysarthrias and presents the types of dysarthria
