7 Ways to Improve Speech Ability in Stroke Sufferers

A stroke can cause physical problems in a person. If a stroke attacks the left brain and hits the language center, the patient will experience speech disorders or aphasia.

Here are 7 Ways to Improve Speech Ability in Stroke Patients

1. When communicating, try to face the patient. This will help patients to see our lip movements and facial expressions.

2. Try to speak slowly, calmly, with a normal voice intonation.

3. Use short sentences and put emphasis on important words. If possible, use facial expressions, body movements and voice rhythm so that the patient can understand what we are saying. If the patient does not understand what we are saying, try to say it with another sentence that has the same meaning.

4. Give the patient the opportunity to communicate using facial expressions and body movements. Don't worry if the patient gives unclear answers.

5. Involve the patient in every conversation within the family.

6. Tell funny things to the patient so that the patient feels comfortable and happy because he doesn't feel alone.

7. Invite him to watch television occasionally and ask his opinion about the film or news program he is watching.

When it comes to stroke, timing is everything. Quick treatment and proper examination are very important to minimize unexpected impacts.
