Health related quality of life (HRQL) measures are increasingly used to evaluate stroke interventions. People with severe aphasia after stroke may be unable to self-report on such measures, necessitating the use of proxy respondents. This study explored the level of agreement between people with aphasia and their proxies on the Greek Stroke and Aphasia Quality of Life Scale-39 generic version (...

Introduction: Broca’s aphasia, a non-fluent is frustrating condition with extensive psychological, familial, and social impact. The reports of people who have already recovered or can express themselves are essential to increasing knowledge about the experience living aphasia. A-FROM framework designed organize thinking impact aphasia includes four key domains: Communication language environmen...

The symptoms of aphasia will vary depending on the type aphasia.

There are 5 7 happened in Lotje's case. common symptom non-fluent (55 data), followed by naming (15 agrammatism (10 phonological literal paraphasia verbal paraphas...

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...

Recent research suggests that some people with aphasia preserve some ability to learn novel words and to retain them in the long-term. However, this novel word learning ability has been studied only in the context of single word-picture pairings. We examined the ability of people with chronic aphasia to learn novel words using a paradigm that presents new word forms together with a limited set ...

UNLABELLED There has been a marked increase in attention to the measurement of "outcomes" after speech-language intervention for adult aphasia. Consumers, speech-language pathologists (SLPs), and funding sources desire evidence of therapy outcomes that improve communication and enhance the quality of life for people with aphasia. While many assessment tools are available to measure outcomes aft...

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...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the occurrence of semantic, phonological and syntactic deficits in acute aphasia with the ScreeLing after the establishment of its psychometric properties. To examine the relationship between these deficits and: (i) overall aphasia severity; and (ii) quality of Spontaneous Speech. METHODS The reliability and validity of the ScreeLing was established by investigating 1...

Global aphasia without hemiparesis is a striking stroke syndrome involving language impairment without the typically manifested contralateral hemiparesis, which is usually seen in patients with global aphasia following large left perisylvian lesions. The objective of this study is to elucidate the specific areas for lesion localization of global aphasia without hemiparesis by retrospectively st...

PURPOSE There is a lot of evidence that people with aphasia have more difficulty understanding structurally complex sentences (e.g., object clefts) than simpler sentences (subject clefts). However, subject clefts also occur more frequently in English than object clefts. Thus, it is possible that both structural complexity and frequency affect how people with aphasia understand these structures....
