What is another word for ataxic aphasia?
Pronunciation: [atˈaksɪk ɐfˈe͡ɪzi͡ə] (IPA) 
Ataxic aphasia refers to a type of language disorder characterized by difficulty to articulate words and phrases. Though this condition is rarely encountered, there are synonymous conditions that revert to the same speech issues. These synonyms for ataxic aphasia include Broca's aphasia, apraxia of speech, motor aphasia, and expressive aphasia. Broca's aphasia also affects the production of words, while apraxia of speech disrupts the translation of motor plans for speech. Motor aphasia hinders the ability to execute the right sequence of sounds, while expressive aphasia can occur due to brain damage caused by stroke, leading to difficulty speaking, writing, and comprehending language. Treatment for ataxic aphasia and other language impairments is dependent on the underlying cause.
