This work covers research and theory regarding the classification, assessment and treatment of dysarthria, and includes instrumental methods. It discusses the neurological/neuropathological bases of dysarthria and studies the physiological basis of speech for each type of dysarthria. Both traditional and more recent instrument-based techniques of rehabilitation are described and evaluated. By examinig the close relationship between rehabilitation methods and the physiological functioning of speech, more effective and long-lasting remediation of dysarthria will result.
