Abstract

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disease of nervous central system, that cause progressive atrophy of breathing muscles and members, moreover bulbar symtoms like dysarthria and dysphagia, result in dead or permanent ventilatory support. Objective. Show the main disorders of the speech and swallowing, available in the literature. Method. In this study of literature review, it was achieve a search in the main basis LILACS and SciELO, with the keywords: amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, dysphagia, dysphonia, dysarthria, speech therapy, between 1977 and 2006. Results. The application of different speech therapy maneuvers showed that it was important for the rehabilitation of the patients with ALS. The Speech Therapyst teaches the patients how to preserv or reduce the problems of swallow and speech, in so far as the disease progress. Conclusion. An early detection of these disturbs allow the professionals (speech therapysts) to evaluate the functional damages and set out the real aims of rehabilitation. The results of this review attract attention to development of a research protocol of ALS in the point of view of speech therapy, due to sortage of the material found.
