5. Stroke
Another leading cause of Broca’s Aphasia is a stroke. A stroke prevents blood and oxygen from flowing properly to certain parts of the brain. If the stroke affects the part of the brain that deals with speech and communication, a person may develop this condition. The severity can vary and often depends on how long and serious the stroke was. Some people are not able to speak at all after suffering from a stroke, and some are not able to talk but can write down their thoughts on paper.
Many people are able to communicate better with some rehabilitation. If the stroke did not cause permanent damage, a person might regain their ability to communicate properly as the brain heals. If the damage is permanent, the person may never fully regain their ability to talk or communicate properly.
Some people are aware that their speech isn’t clear, and others think they are speaking correctly and don’t realize their words are not coming outright.
