Babcock Law Firm provides as benefit to our clients, The Traumatic Brain Injury Glossary of Terms. It includes definitions for over 200 brain injury related terms from HDI's Brain Injury Glossary.

Verbal Apraxia
Impaired control of proper sequencing of muscles used in speech (tongue, lips, jaw muscles, vocal cords). These muscles are not weak but their control is defective. Speech is labored and characterized by sound reversals, additions and word approximations.
Vestibular
Pertaining to the vestibular system in the middle ear and the brain which senses movements of the head. Disorders of the vestibular system can lead to dizziness, poor regulation of postural muscle tone and inability to detect quick movements of the head.
