Recent Advances in Clinical Dysarthria

Dysarthria ('dys' meaning abnormal or difficult; 'arthr' meaning articulating) is a motor speech disorder resulting from neurological injury of the motor component of the motor-speech system and is characterized by poor articulation of phonemes. In other words, it is a condition in which problems effectively occur with the muscles that help produce speech, often making it very difficult to pronounce words. It is unrelated to any problem with understanding cognitive language. Any of the speech subsystems (respiration, phonation, resonance, prosody, and articulation) can be affected, leading to impairments in intelligibility, audibility, naturalness, and efficiency of vocal communication.

Management of Speech and Swallowing Disorders in Degenerative Diseases, Third Edition provides updated information on the many advances made in the understanding and treatment of degenerative diseases. Each of the first four chapters of this text is devoted to one medical diagnosis: amyotrophic lateral sclerosis Parkinson’s disease Huntington’s disease multiple sclerosis For each of the diseases, the intervention is organized into the stages of mild dysarthria, moderate dysarthria, and severe dysarthria. Scales rating speech and swallowing function are provided, along with clinical examination forms and checklists. Two new chapters provide information that crosses all of the diseases. The fifth chapter describes the clinical examination of speech and swallowing. The sixth chapter, authored by Steven Bloch, PhD, describes the maintenance of conversational interaction in the face of degenerative disease. Finally, a glossary of operational definitions serves to familiarize readers wit
