[Types of apraxia of the articulation apparatus in afferent motor aphasia].

On the basis of the comparative data on physiology and psychology of speech, as well as applied and comparative linguistics, it is known that apraxia of articulation apparatus in patients with afferent motor aphasia is heterogenous. The study of 3 groups of patients with primary apraxia of either a tongue, lips, or pharynx and larynx allowed one to find that in persons whose native language is Russian, written speech, reading and understanding is disturbed to a lesser degree in primary apraxia of glotis and larynx that are not initial phonemoformation organs in the Russian language.
