What is the most common type of communication impairment in individuals with Multiple Sclerosis?

  1. Aphasia

  2. Dysarthria

  3. Apraxia

  4. Dysphagia


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Dysarthria is a motor speech disorder that affects the muscles used for speech, resulting in difficulty producing clear and intelligible speech.

Which of the following is a characteristic feature of dysarthria in Multiple Sclerosis?

  1. Slurred speech

  2. Hoarseness

  3. Stuttering

  4. Rapid speech


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Slurred speech, characterized by imprecise articulation of consonants, is a common feature of dysarthria in Multiple Sclerosis.

What is the primary cause of dysarthria in individuals with Multiple Sclerosis?

  1. Damage to the motor neurons in the brain

  2. Damage to the muscles used for speech

  3. Damage to the nerves that control the muscles used for speech

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Dysarthria in Multiple Sclerosis can result from damage to the motor neurons in the brain, damage to the muscles used for speech, and damage to the nerves that control the muscles used for speech.
