Aphasia Motor

Motor aphasia (a. motoria; synonym: a. verbal, a. expressive, Broca's aphasia) is one of the types of aphasia in which the ability to verbally express thoughts is impaired. It is characterized by difficulties in choosing the right words and a violation of the grammatical structure of speech. Speech is scanty, laconic, with agrammatisms. Speech understanding is preserved.

Motor aphasia occurs when the posterior parts of the inferior frontal gyrus of the left hemisphere (Broca's area) are damaged. The most common causes are stroke, brain injury, or tumor.

Treatment includes drug therapy and speech therapy sessions, which are aimed at restoring speech function. The prognosis depends on the location, size of the lesion, age and other factors. With adequate therapy, significant improvement is possible.

Aphasia: Motor Aphasia Motor aphasia is a condition in which the motor function of speech is impaired. This condition most often occurs against the background of brain disorders or with serious damage to the language centers located in the areas of the cerebral cortex involved in the implementation of movements of the tongue and jaw when pronouncing words, sounds, and syllables.

Motor aphasia syndrome was first described in 1874 by the French-Belgian psychiatrist Paul Broca. Then psychologists and neurologists T. Simon, L. Olivier and J. Gilles de la Tourette deciphered the functional nature of Broca's muteness, giving this topic exceptional importance for world science on the problem of speech restoration. Billroth noted that damage to the left hemisphere occurs twice as often as to the right. Motor agnosia syndrome in Alzheimer's dementia was first diagnosed by UCLA neurology professor Dr. Kurt Schneider in 2005.
