(Cognitive, communication, Perceptual deficits)
Dysarthria
Patients with {apraxia OR dysarthria} have the neurological cognition of the task but lack the motor control.
Expressive aphasia
*{Expressive aphasia OR Receptive aphasia}* is another term to describe Broca's aphasia. These patients have the cognition, but have difficulty with expressing what they want to say.
