Acquired Apraxia Research Paper
The acquired apraxia of speech is a motor speech disorder. The signals from the brain to the articulatory system are disrupted and therefore cannot coordinate movements between the articulators to produce speech. The timing and movement of the lips or tongue is interrupted. A person with apraxia cannot move his or her lips or tongue to the right place or pronounce syllables or sounds correctly. He or she cannot group and systemize the articulatory muscle movements. Some characteristics of acquired apraxia are slow or delayed speech, distorted speech, impaired rhythm and intonation of speech, immobility or limited use of articulators.
Apraxia is caused by neurological damage in the Broca’s area. The damage to the left frontal lobe can be caused
