Stroke can affect the systems that support voice production and vocal clarity, including respiratory control, phonation, resonance, and prosody. When these systems are compromised, individuals may experience reduced vocal loudness, monotone speech, breathiness, vocal fatigue, or decreased speech clarity.

These changes can significantly impact communication effectiveness, participation, and quality of life—even when language skills remain intact.

After a stroke, many individuals experience changes in thinking skills that directly affect communication. These challenges are known as cognitive-communication disorders (CCDs) and involve impairments in how cognition supports everyday communication rather than language structure alone.

These deficits are common following right-hemisphere stroke, diffuse injury, or frontal-subcortical involvement, but they can occur after any stroke location. CCDs often persist even when basic language and speech abilities appear intact, making them easy to overlook without careful assessment.

Learn how cognitive-communication disorders affect attention, memory, and discourse after stroke, and discover effective therapies.

Stroke recovery depends on many factors: where in the brain the stroke occurred, how much of the brain was impacted, caregiver support, the quantity and quality of rehabilitation, and how healthy the survivor was before the stroke.

Each stage of medical care is designed to help survivors regain independence and return home as soon as possible. However, the process can be slow and uncertain. Support and encouragement from friends and family, as well as the survivor’s own attitude, are critical to making progress.
