STUDY OF ORAL PRAXIS

In addition to aphasic disorders, speech disorder syndromes may also include paretic, dystonic and hyper-kinetic disorders of the muscles involved in articulation. Sometimes these disorders are so pronounced in the patient that we can talk about a combination of aphasic and dysarthric speech disorders. In other cases, paresis, tone disorders and hyperkinesis of the joint muscles are weakly expressed and are revealed only under conditions of special functional loads. However, weak expression of these symptoms in the structure of the speech defect as a whole cannot be ruled out. Therefore, such disorders must be identified and taken into account both in diagnostic and in correctional work.
