Aphasia Motor Transcortical

Motor type aphasia or transcortical type aphasia is a speech disorder that occurs as a result of damage to the motor cortex of the brain. This is one of the types of aphasia, which is characterized by impaired understanding of speech and difficulties in pronouncing it.

Symptoms of transcortical aphasia may include difficulty pronouncing words, difficulty understanding speech, and an inability to use language to communicate. A person may have difficulty pronouncing words they know as well as using words from their vocabulary.

With transcortical aphasia, a person may use gestures and facial expressions instead of words to communicate with others. Difficulties in understanding written language and reading may also occur.

Treatment for transcortical aphasia involves the use of speech therapy techniques such as speech development and improving speech understanding. Therapy aimed at improving coordination and muscle tone may also be useful.
