BACKGROUND
Technologies are becoming increasingly popular in the treatment of language disorders and offer numerous possibilities, but little is known about their effectiveness and limitations.
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this systematic review was to investigate the effectiveness of treatments delivered
We describe a patient in whom dysnomia, ataxia, choreoathetosis, sensory impairment, and severe gait imbalance resulted from an isolated left lentiform nucleus-posterior limb of internal capsule lacunar stroke. Each of these deficits has been described as a consequence of unilateral basal ganglia or
BACKGROUND
The majority of studies investigating the neural mechanisms underlying treatment-induced recovery in aphasia have focused on the cortical regions associated with language processing. However, the integrity of the white matter connecting these regions may also be crucial to understanding
The location and extent of brain changes that support recovery in chronic stroke is probably related to the structural integrity of the remaining cortex. However, little is known about the specifics of this relationship and how it influences treatment outcome in chronic stroke. To examine this
The performance of 11 Alzheimer's (DAT) and 8 anomic aphasic stroke patients is contrasted with that of 32 normal elderly subjects on both the Boston Naming Test (BNT) and the Controlled Oral Word Association Test (COW), a letter-category verbal-fluency test. While both tests require phonological
OBJECTIVE
Stroke is the leading cause of disability in many countries. Aphasia is a common sign of stroke that is observed in about one-third of stroke patients and contributes to disease morbidity. However, the relationship between anatomy and different forms of aphasia remains poorly understood.
Changes in brain activity characterizing impaired speech production after brain damage have usually been investigated by comparing aphasic speakers with healthy subjects because prestroke data are normally not available. However, when interpreting the results of studies of stroke patients versus
OBJECTIVE
In clinical trials stroke is reported as a major morbid outcome, but the impact of stroke on patients is not directly assessed. This study examines patient preferences for different outcomes of stroke, including death.
METHODS
We presented patients with written case scenarios of stroke
In the course of increasing demands in acute stroke care in stroke units, criteria for efficient speech diagnosis, which can be applied in the first hours of acute stroke are necessary. In this study we investigated early recognition of speech and speech-associated disorders in acute stroke, and
BACKGROUND
Aphasia is considered to be the most difficult disorders of speech-language communication, and is often companion by all forms of cerebrovascular disease.
OBJECTIVE
To determine the outcome of aphasia disorder a year after a stroke and stroke type influence on the outcome of aphasia
UNASSIGNED
To evaluate the types and severity of subcortical aphasia after stroke and to determine the predictors of the degree of aphasic impairment.
UNASSIGNED
Medical records of 38 patients with post-stroke subcortical aphasia (19 males; mean age, 61.7±13.8 years) were reviewed retrospectively
BACKGROUND
Studies measuring treatment efficacy for post-stroke verb anomia are scarce. These studies mainly assessed the efficacy of three strategies: semantic, phonological and sensorimotor. Following these previous treatments, the performance of most participants improved on treated verbs, while
A case of stroke with amnesia, hemianopsia, alexia without agraphia, colour anomia is reported. CT of the brain demonstrated presence of an ischaemic focus in the temporo-parieto-occipital area. Hemianopsia and colour anomia persisted longer than other symptoms.
This is an appraisal of the varied clinical presentation and the neural substrate for akinetic mutism following stroke. The diagnosis is important as akinetic mutism is often misdiagnosed as depression, delirium and locked-in-syndrome. This is a descriptive study of eight selected patients with
