) is difficulty in initiating and executing the movement patterns necessary to produce speech when there is no paralysis, weakness, or discoordination of speech muscles.

Front 33

Causes of AOS

Back 33

Lesions in Broca’s area in the left frontal lobe are often associated with AOS in adults.
Strokes are the most common cause of such lesions.
External trauma to the frontal lobe, tumors, and accidental surgical injury are other causes.
Degenerative neurological diseases (e.g., Alzheimer’s disease) also can affect the frontal lobe.
Lesions in Broca’s area affect motor programming for speech, causing errors in speech production.
