Broca's Aphasia

@jonbahn

With expressive aphasia (or the outdated, Broca's Aphasia), the clinical picture is one in which the patient has problems initiating speech. This cannot be due to problems simply with the mouth, soft palate, or tongue - the problem originates in the brain. A person with expressive aphasia can follow commands, and can understand what is being said to him/her. I've witnessed this up close and personal.

I've actually studied this and witnessed it in real life. He has a problem with self-expression. A person with this type of language disorder should be able to follow commands. He doesn't have a problem understanding words or syntax, just producing.Have any of you ever studied Neurology or given a Neurologic Examination? Maybe my last post was muddled. We don't even use the terms 'Broca's' or 'Wernicke's' anymore. What this man is suffering from is expressive aphasia, or non-fluent aphasia.

wrong

What does "tono" mean? Im assuming its offensive, but Idk what it is.

I think he's just saying 'Dunno'.

ahhh i got a midterm on this in one hour!

this patient copes pretty well.u can definitely tell what the message is that hes trying to get across

then everybody who just came from a different country and try to speak english has this disorder then ......right?

its the opposite, the patient cant process some words
