BACKGROUND It has been speculated that the conflicting results demonstrated across poststroke aphasia therapy studies might be related to differences in intensity of therapy provided across studies. The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between intensity of aphasia therapy and aphasia recovery. METHODS A MEDLINE literature search was conducted to retrieve clinical trials in...

BACKGROUND Intensive speech therapy improves language function in patients with chronic aphasia, although treatment in the acute phase is more effective than in the chronic phase. Unfortunately, most patients with stroke go untreated due to socioeconomic problems. This study was performed to develop and test a speech therapy-based telerehabilitation program (iAphasia), suitable for use on a mob...

The goal of the study was threefold: 1) to evaluate QEEG/ERPs in dexes of functional brain impairment after a stroke associated with chronic crossed transcortical sensory aphasia, 2) to construct a neu rotherapy protocol to compensate for this functional damage, and 3) to assess the changes in the functional neuromarkers induced by the neurotherapy sessions. A 72-year-old, strongly right-handed...

Aphasia frequently leads to long-term consequences in language and communication. This paper presents an overview of current methods aphasia treatment, as well empirical data on their effectiveness limitations. We surveyed literature by accessing electronic databases Serbian libraries using specialized search engines the internet. A review papers confirmed existence numerous treatment today, wh...

Word-retrieval treatment studies in aphasia have reported the greatest influences on picture naming for trained words. To increase treatment effects to untrained words and sentence contexts, we investigated a sentence-reading treatment hierarchy that moves from errorless to generative production of sentences incorporating target nouns and verbs. In an individual with nonfluent aphasia, treatmen...
