رجل عمره ٦٣ سنة بعد سكتة في الجهة اليسرى من الدماغ، عنده ضعف في يده اليمنى. يفهم الكلام جيداً وينفذ الأوامر، لكنه يتكلم بصعوبة وبكلمات قليلة متقطعة، ويعرف ما يريد قوله ويشعر بالإحباط. ما نوع الحبسة؟

A 63-year-old man after a left hemispheric stroke has right hand weakness. He understands speech and follows commands but speaks with effort in few, broken words, knowing what he wants to say and feeling frustrated. What type of aphasia is this?

1. Dysarthria from muscle weakness only
2. Receptive (Wernicke’s) aphasia
3. Global aphasia
4. Expressive (Broca’s) aphasia

Answer: D) Expressive (Broca’s) aphasia. Broca’s aphasia from frontal injury leaves comprehension intact with slow, halting speech, and the client is aware and frustrated. In Wernicke’s, speech is fluent but meaningless and comprehension poor.
