Spastic dysarthria is caused by damage to the primary voluntary motor pathways, which originate in the frontal lobes of the brain and descend to the brainstem and spinal cord.
Ataxic dysarthria is caused by damage to the cerebellum or its connections to the cerebral cortex or brain-stem.
Paralyses are generally divided into two main groups: flaccid paralysis and spastic paralysis. Flaccid paralysis is characterized by weakness or loss of muscle tone and reflexes, often resulting from damage to the lower motor neurons. In contrast, spastic paralysis involves increased muscle tone and exaggerated reflexes due to damage to the upper motor neurons. These distinctions help in diagnosing the underlying causes and determining appropriate treatments.

The most common causes of spastic dysarthria include spastic cerebral palsy , multiple sclerosis , amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS, or Lou Gehrig's disease), multiple strokes, and closed head injuries.
Ataxic dysarthria is caused by damage to the cerebellum or its connections to the cerebral cortex or brain-stem.
Hypokinetic dysarthria is caused by damage to the upper brainstem in a region that is richly composed of darkly pigmented (nigra) nerve cells.

Short for spastic. Spastic means to be jumpy, or maybe jittery. The opposite of spastic would be easy going.
Unilateral upper motor neuron dysarthria can be caused by lesions in the corticobulbar pathway on one side of the brain, such as a stroke, tumor, or traumatic brain injury. These lesions can disrupt the connection between the motor areas of the brain and the cranial nerve nuclei responsible for speech production on that side, leading to impaired control over speech muscles.
