Thinking About Better Speech: Mental Practice for Stroke-Induced Motor Speech Impairments.
BACKGROUND: Mental practice (MP) is a mind-body technique in which physical movements are cognitively rehearsed. It has shown efficacy in reducing the severity of a number of neurological impairments. AIMS: In the present review, we highlight recent developments in MP research, and the basis for MP use after stroke-induced motor speech disorders. MAIN CONTRIBUTION: In this review, we: (a) pro...
متن کاملModified constraint-induced therapy combined with mental practice: thinking through better motor outcomes.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Modified constraint-induced therapy (mCIT) is an outpatient therapy encouraging repetitive, task-specific practice with the affected arm. mCIT has shown efficacy in all stages poststroke. Given its efficacy when combined with other therapy regimens, the current study examined the efficacy of mental practice when combined with mCIT versus mCIT only using randomized, contro...
متن کاملInner speech in post-stroke motor aphasia
The goal of the present study was to determine whether chronic post-stroke patients with motor aphasia have impaired inner speech abilities and whether they use inner speech in everyday life. To answer these questions, we recruited eight chronic post-stroke aphasic patients and 13 cognitively healthy adults, who underwent testing on a range of evaluative tests and four experiments specifically ...
متن کاملMotor cortical plasticity induced by motor learning through mental practice
Several investigations suggest that actual and mental actions trigger similar neural substrates. Motor learning via physical practice results in long-term potentiation (LTP)-like plasticity processes, namely potentiation of M1 and a temporary occlusion of additional LTP-like plasticity. However, whether this neuroplasticity process contributes to improve motor performance through mental practic...
متن کاملThinking Biblically About Homosexual Practice
Introduction We are all aware that this is an increasingly volatile issue, both within the Church and in the wider political arena. It causes deep pain and anguish for some, anger and resentment for others, and very likely a degree of apprehension and anxiety all the way around. As you might guess, I would dearly love not to have to address this at all because none of us wants to be labeled and...
