Abstract
The Clinical Outcome of Concurrent Speech Therapy and Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation in Dysarthria and Palilalia Following Traumatic Brain Injury: A Case Study
Highlights
Dysarthria, a neurological motor speech disorder, is regarded as a common sequala of traumatic brain injury (TBI)
The case was referred as dysarthria following TBI because of no progress through traditional speech therapy over last 3 years by his speech language therapist
The paired comparison ratings of speech intelligibility reported from the Be Clear program, for better illustration, was averaged for six participants who experienced dysarthria following TBI and presented in terms of percentage
Summary
Dysarthria, a neurological motor speech disorder, is regarded as a common sequala of traumatic brain injury (TBI). High-level cognitive functions, psychiatric disorders, and impairment of social and leisure activities are among long-term consequences of TBI (Stocchetti & Zanier, 2016) Along these lines, dysarthria is a communicative deficit regarded as one of the consequences of TBI. The condition is an acquired speech disorder which occurs following neurological injury of the motor component of the speech circuitry characterized by reducing the speech intelligibility due to poor, inaccurate, slow, or uncoordinated speech muscles (Mitchell, Bowen, Tyson, Butterfint, & Conroy, 2017). This may possibly affect speech-related functions including respiratory, articulation, phonation, and resonance mechanisms (Kwon, Do, Park, Chang, & Chun, 2015)
