A brain infarction that does not speak is a type of motor aphasia caused by a cerebral infarction. If a patient with a brain infarction has a left-sided lesion, he or she can develop speech dysfunction, including motor aphasia, sensory aphasia and mixed aphasia. Motor aphasia is when the patient cannot speak, but can understand what others are saying. Sensory aphasia is when the patient is able to speak but cannot understand what others are saying. Mixed aphasia is when the patient can neither understand what others are saying nor express what he or she is saying. For patients with left-sided cerebral infarction, sensory and motor impairment of the right limb can occur at the same time. If the patient’s condition is stable, rehabilitation treatment should be given early, including speech function rehabilitation training and limb function rehabilitation training. If necessary, acupuncture treatment can also be given to prevent sequelae.
