If an individual has poor muscle control, how might this impact their speech?

When an individual has poor muscle control, especially in the muscles involved in speech formation—such as the tongue, lips, and vocal cords—this can significantly affect their ability to articulate sounds. As a result, they may produce unclear or indistinct speech, leading to difficulty in being understood by others. This lack of clarity in producing sounds stems from the inability to coordinate the necessary muscular movements required for clear enunciation.

In contrast, being unable to speak at all or speaking less frequently are not direct implications of poor muscle control; some individuals may still retain the ability to talk but struggle with clarity. While some may indeed speak too loudly, this is not a direct correlation to muscle control issues, as loudness relates more to volume control than to articulation difficulties. Therefore, the statement about making sounds that are not clear accurately reflects the challenges faced in communication due to poor muscle control.
