Is Speech and Language Disorder Common in MND

Speech barrier in MND is a common concern. Speech and Language Disorders in MND occur progressively. The involuntary motor neurons responsible for controlling speech such as tongue, lips, throat, and vocal cords, are affected. As these muscles weaken, individuals may develop slurred speech, reduced voice volume, or difficulty pronouncing words clearly, a condition known as dysarthria. Research also indicated cognitive changes adversely affecting speech development. These problems can affect daily interactions and emotional well-being. Early support from speech and language therapists, along with assistive communication devices, can help patients maintain proper communication. Know more Contact us: +91-96543214...
