Apraxia Oral

Apraxia orofascial or oroalphalic or orolabial is a disease of the organs of movement of the face and jaw, characterized by a violation of the voluntary voluntary opening and closing of the mouth, chewing, swallowing, pronunciation function of speech (impaired articulation while maintaining the motor stereotype of speech) and other voluntary movements of the tongue and jaw, can be combined with disorders of facial muscles. Usually, there is a violation of the prosodic components of speech. Thus, there is no violation of active movement in response to forced influence. Oral apraxia directly reflects the insufficiency of the functional organization of the act of performing the objective actions themselves, which serves as the basis for assessing it as the main symptom of apraxia. The concept of apraxia, particularly oral, serves as a test of the effectiveness of instrumental and biological approaches to apraxia. The concepts of the somatic and neurological origin of aprasia are characterized by parallelism between the clinical picture of speech behavior disorders and lesions of certain areas of the brain, that is, they make it possible to detect the topical distribution of functions in lesions of the central nervous system. On the contrary, the functional-dynamic approach does not require comparison of lesion points in specific speech dysfunction and a number of brain diseases with the topography of aprasia. This concept includes a clinical syndrome, which is based on a deficiency of some objectively observable link in the mental functional system with a disorder of speech activity that is irreducible by posture, that is, the parallelism of phoneme disorders and neuronal damage disappears.

Treatment of oral apraxia, including cases of disorders of the motor apparatus of the tongue, is possible with the help of neurological manual therapy, massage, a combination of psychotherapy, aromatherapy, water
