Neuroanatomical regions associated with non-progressive dysarthria post-stroke: a systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Dysarthria is a common and persisting sequela to stroke. It can have a negative influence on psychological wellbeing, and quality of life. This systematic review aimed to describe and identify the neuroanatomical regions associated with non-progressive dysarthria following stroke.

Methods

A systematic search of PubMed, Ovid Medline, CINAHL, Cochrane, Scopus, and ScienceDirect was conducted to identify all relevant articles published in peer-reviewed journals up to December 2021. Following data extraction, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) quality assessment tools were used to evaluate the methodological quality of the included studies.

Results

Out of 2186 papers found in the literature related to dysarthria post-stroke, 24 met the inclusion criteria.
