Abstract

Apraxia of speech is impairment of their ability to coordinate the sequential or articulatory movements and result from an insult to the left cerebral hemisphere, especially lesion in left opecular area and
pericentral sulcus. Although the left opercular region has been identified as coordinating articulation of speech, the precise regions remain unclear.
