Dysarthria (difficulty speaking)
Dysarthria is a motor speech disorder characterized by difficulty in articulating speech sounds due to weakness, paralysis, or lack of coordination of the muscles involved in speech production. It can affect the clarity, volume, pitch, and rhythm of speech, making it challenging for individuals to communicate effectively. Dysarthria may result from various underlying conditions affecting the nervous system, muscles, or respiratory system, and it can range from mild to severe in its presentation.
