TL;DR: Speech disorders in children with cerebral palsy diverse: the phonetic, phonemic, which manifest themselves in various forms of dysarthria; specific features of the learning of lexical system of the language, due to the specific nature of the disease.
Abstract: Cerebral palsy is the most common cause of childhood disability, among which in the first place – diseases of the nervous system.Cerebral palsy is the second most common neurological disorders in childhood; the first is mental retardation in children. In third place – various congenital anomalies. Violation of language acquisition in children cerebral palsy is also associated with lack of subject-practical activities for children and their limited social contacts.Paralysis indicate a relationship of motor and speech disorders. This is manifested in the common skeletal disorders and speech muscles. Speech disorders in children with cerebral palsy diverse: the phonetic, phonemic, which manifest themselves in various forms of dysarthria; specific features of the learning of lexical system of the language, due to the specific nature of the disease; disorders of the grammatical structure of speech, which are inextricably linked with lexical and phonetic-phonemic disorders.

TL;DR: A 38-year-old male patient with a deep central parietal lesion in the left hemisphere reveals a motor speech disorder but no aphasia as evidenced by linguistic testing with the Aachener Aphasietest.
Abstract: A 38-year-old male patient with a deep central parietal lesion in the left hemisphere reveals a motor speech disorder but no aphasia as evidenced by linguistic testing with the Aachener Aphasietest. Nuclear magnetic resonance tomography of the brain shows no lesion of the brainstem. Whether the speech disorder can be termed cortical dysarthria or apraxia of speech is left open to discussion.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report data on how scaled speech intelligibility is affected by level of presentation of speech samples produced by speakers with various types and severity of dysarthria, and report that the effect of the presentation level on the intelligibility test is not clear.
Abstract: A considerable amount of effort has been made to seek the acoustic correlates of reduced speech intelligibility in dysarthria, although some acoustic variables are under debate: For example, articulation rate, F2 slope, and vowel space have been frequently discussed in previous studies as acoustic predictors of speech intelligibility of dysarthria [Kim (2007)]. One variable that is not well understood, with respect to its effect on speech intelligibility in dysarthria, is level of presentation. This includes level generated by a speaker as well as level of presentation after the speaker has recorded utterances. Clearly, variations in level of presentation of recorded utterances will have some effect when an intelligibility test requires some segmental analysis (as in a minimal pairs test), but the potential effect when speech intelligibility is scaled is not so clear. This is an important question because of the frequent use of scaled intelligibility in dysarthria research. In this presentation, we will report data on how scaled speech intelligibility is affected by level of presentation of speech samples produced by speakers with various types and severity of dysarthria.

TL;DR: Thanks to the synergistic action of a combined treatment of physical and instrumental therapy, despite the rare pathology and complex disability, the patient had important benefits in terms of performance and independence in daily activity.
Abstract: Background Primary lateral sclerosis (PLS) is an upper motor neurons disease that on rare occasions may determine bradykinesia and motor fatigue. To date, no rehabilitative treatment has been described as useful for these patients. Case presentation A 68-year-old male developed dysarthria, spastic laugh, impairments of handwriting and fine motor, gait and dysphagia disorders for both solids and liquids over the period from 2015 to December 2018, with normal DaT scans and no clinical benefits from therapy with levodopa, pramipexole and baclofen. The patient underwent exercises for gait training and balance control with sensory treadmill and stabilometric platform and kinesiotherapy to improve fine motor skills of both hands and postural changes, five days a week for two weeks. Based on our data, the patient showed an improvement in balance and gait parameters in T2 compared to T1. Conclusion Thanks to the synergistic action of a combined treatment of physical and instrumental therapy, despite the rare pathology and complex disability, the patient had important benefits in terms of performance and independence in daily activity.

TL;DR: The results point to close relations between speech-related rhythmic skills and non-verbal rhythmic motor and perceptual abilities in PD, consistent with an impaired general system for beat perception and production in PD.
