How To Treat Progressive Bulbar Palsy

Devices To Assist With Speech

In addition to the throat, the jaw and facial muscles may also be severely impacted by progressive bulbar palsy, which can lead to problems with speech, ranging from mild to severe. As such, devices to assist with speech are one of the more common and easily accessible treatment methods. These devices allow patients to communicate electronically so they can be better understood. There are many different systems available to progressive bulbar palsy patients. Some function solely as the voice of the patient while others work like a computer system. The voice output can either be synthesized or digitized. Synthesized devices use pre-programmed language but also allow the user to spell out new thoughts and expressions, while digitized systems are limited to pre-programmed language only. However, digitized systems are thought to be more 'normal sounding.'
