Abstract

This paper reports a case of cerebral stem infarction with quadriplegia and complete dependence on daily life. The course of the disease lasted more than 7 months. Frenchay’s improved articulation Disorder Assessment Form has been assessed as severe articulation disorder. The patient has significantly improved his speech function and quality of life after systematic head control training, respiratory function training, articulation motor training, and articulation training. In the course of treatment, emphasis was placed on head postural control training and respiratory function training, and emphasis was placed on the strength and coordination training of articulatory organs, and the results were remarkable. After the patient was discharged from the hospital, the follow-up of basic daily life communication was not limited.
