Describe the major types of dysarthria?
Dysarthria is a type of speech disorder that occurs due to the loss of control over the muscle controlling speech making it difficult for a person to talk. The muscles that control their mouth are not functioning properly. These muscles could be in the tongue, lips, or even the diaphragm.
This damage can be done by a number of conditions. These include stroke, brain tumors, brain injuries, a serious head injury, Lyme disease, Parkinson's disease, Wilson's disease, multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, and Huntington's disease, among others. The severity of the dysarthria depends on which part of the body is most affected by the disease.
In rare cases, adverse reactions to certain medications may also cause dysarthria.
