Anarthria represents a very rare form of aphasia that is not associated with major motor impairments; the guidelines for aphasia indicate speech therapists to intervene quickly and intensively together with physiotherapists both in the acute and sub-acute phase during hospitalization in a second-level rehabilitation facility. However, if the motor impairment is not present or minimal, the choice to keep an anarthric patient in a rehabilitation facility for at least 4 weeks, instead of following him only in the out-patients clinic, has proved to be effective in terms of time and results.
