The final, formatted version of the article will be published soon.

A stroke can damage various regions of the brain. Damage to upper motor neurons of the pyramidal tracts causes unilateral upper motor neuron dysarthria or spastic dysarthria. Dysarthria caused by stroke is characterized by the coexistence of neurological deficits such as hemiparesis, hemiataxia, clumsiness of one hand, central facial paresis, and tongue deviation. In this review, we summarize the association between stroke and dysarthria and the relevant methods to measure stroke-associated dysarthria and discuss specific exercises, advice, explanations, strategies, and psychological support.

Keywords: Stroke, Dysarthria, Upper motor neurons, the pyramidal tracts, diagnosis, therapy
