VertigeSur le plan médical, le (étymologiquement vertigo vient du latin verso, versare : tourner) est un trouble affectant un sujet dans le contrôle de sa situation dans l'espace, ce qui occasionne une illusion de déplacement du sujet par rapport aux objets environnants ou des objets environnants par rapport au sujet. Cette illusion de mouvement peut se présenter sous différentes formes : une sensation de rotation « comme dans un manège » ; une sensation de déplacement du corps dans le plan vertical « comme dans un ascenseur » ; une sensation d'instabilité, décrite comme un tangage « comme sur un bateau ».
Trouble neurologiqueA neurological disorder is any disorder of the nervous system. Structural, biochemical or electrical abnormalities in the brain, spinal cord or other nerves can result in a range of symptoms. Examples of symptoms include paralysis, muscle weakness, poor coordination, loss of sensation, seizures, confusion, pain and altered levels of consciousness. There are many recognized neurological disorders, some relatively common, but many rare. They may be assessed by neurological examination, and studied and treated within the specialities of neurology and clinical neuropsychology.
Apraxia of speechApraxia of speech (AOS), also called verbal apraxia, is a speech sound disorder affecting an individual's ability to translate conscious speech plans into motor plans, which results in limited and difficult speech ability. By the definition of apraxia, AOS affects volitional (willful or purposeful) movement pattern. However, AOS usually also affects automatic speech. Individuals with AOS have difficulty connecting speech messages from the brain to the mouth.
Developmental verbal dyspraxiaDevelopmental verbal dyspraxia (DVD), also known as childhood apraxia of speech (CAS) and developmental apraxia of speech (DAS), is a condition in which an individual has problems saying sounds, syllables and words. This is not because of muscle weakness or paralysis. The brain has problems planning to move the body parts (e.g., lips, jaw, tongue) needed for speech. The individual knows what they want to say, but their brain has difficulty coordinating the muscle movements necessary to say those words.
