Dysarthria

Dysarthria is a motor speech disorder resulting from neurological injury, characterised by poor articulation . Any of the speech subsystems can be affected. Disarthic speech is due to some disorder in the nervous system, which in turn hinders control over, for example, tongue, throat, lips or lungs. Swallowing problems, dysphagia, are often present.Cranial nerves that control these muscles include the facial nerve , the glossopharyngeal nerve , the vagus nerve , and the hypoglossal nerve .
