متن کاملWhy are patients with progressive nonfluent aphasia nonfluent?
OBJECTIVE To investigate the cognitive and neural basis for nonfluent speech in progressive nonfluent aphasia (PNFA). BACKGROUND Nonfluent speech is the hallmark feature of PNFA, and this has been attributed to impairments in syntactic processing, motor-speech planning, and executive functioning that also occur in these patients. Patients with PNFA have left inferior frontal atrophy. METHOD...

Objective Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is an uncommon type of dementia. The hallmark feature of FTD is the presentation with aphasia, or behavioral changes which are varies in different subtypes of the disease.

متن کاملReliability and Validity of Bedside Version of Persian WAB (P-WAB-1)
Introduction: In this study, we reported the reliability and validity of Bedside version of Persian WAB (P-WAB-1) adapted from Western Aphasia Battery (WAB-R)1,2. P-WAB-1 is a clinical linguistic measuring tool to determine severity and type of aphasia in brain damaged patients based on Aphasia Quotient (AQ) as a functional measure. For the purposes of a quick clinical screening of aphasia in...
