Aphasia is a communication disorder that affects a person’s ability to speak, understand speech, read, or write. It typically results from damage to the brain's language centers, often due to:
Stroke (most common cause) Head injury Brain tumor Infections or degenerative neurological conditions
Aphasia is an impairment of language, affecting speaking and understanding language and/or the ability to read or write. Aphasia symptoms vary in degrees of severity, depending on factors such as the injury’s location and the size of the damage to the brain. A person with aphasia may have difficulty finding words (“anomia”). Other signs and symptoms include putting words in the wrong order, requiring extra time to process spoken messages, having difficulty writing or copying letters or words, or having difficulty reading and understanding written material. According to the National Aphasia Association, the most common cause of aphasia is stroke (about 25-40% of stroke survivors acquire aphasia). It can also result from a head injury, brain tumor, or other neurological causes.
To help the patient speak as clearly and effectively as possible, and use alternative communication strategies if needed—so they can engage fully in daily life.
Vedanta Speech and Hearing Centre plays a crucial role in the assessment, diagnosis, treatment, and long-term management of Aphasia—a common communication disorder after stroke or neurological conditions.
Slurred or slow speech Abnormal rhythm or pitch Voice sounding breathy, hoarse, or nasal Difficulty moving tongue, lips, or jaw Drooling or poor saliva control Shortness of breath while speaking
Anomic Aphasia Individuals with anomic aphasia have difficulty with word-finding skills. Typically, auditory comprehension and reading are unaffected, while writing often mirrors speech output. Broca’s Aphasia Broca’s aphasia is also known as non-fluent aphasia. In this form of aphasia, speech output is reduced, and the person often has word-finding difficulties, also known as anomia. Auditory comprehension and reading comprehension are usually preserved, but writing typically mirrors spoken language output. Anomic Aphasia Individuals with anomic aphasia have difficulty with word-finding skills. Typically, auditory comprehension and reading are unaffected, while writing often mirrors speech output. Conduction Aphasia The hallmark of conduction aphasia is difficulty with the repetition of words, sentences, and phrases. A person with conduction aphasia can usually read, write, speak, and understand spoken messages. Some people have mild word-finding difficulties Global Aphasia Global Aphasia is the most severe form of aphasia. Global aphasia affects receptive and expressive language, meaning that auditory comprehension, reading, writing, and spoken language are all impaired. Primary Progressive Aphasia Primary Progressive Aphasia (PPA) occurs when spoken language output and auditory comprehension becomes slowly and progressively impaired over time. While stroke or other brain injuries can cause other forms of aphasia, PPA is caused by neurodegenerative diseases. Although the first symptoms are problems with speech and language, other symptoms related to dementia may appear in the later stages, such as memory loss. Mixed Transcortical Aphasia In individuals with mixed transcortical aphasia, speech is often slow and halting, resembling severe Broca’s aphasia. However, unlike Broca’s aphasia, auditory comprehension, reading, and writing are often impaired. The ability to repeat complex words and sentences is a strength in this type of aphasia. Transcortical Motor Aphasia Transcortical motor aphasia is a type of non-fluent aphasia like Broca’s aphasia. Speech output is reduced with frequent episodes of word-finding difficulties making speech halting with many starts and stops. Individuals with transcortical motor aphasia have preserved repetition, as they can repeat words and sentences of considerable length and complexity. The severity of this type of aphasia can range from mild to severe.
