Download or read book Redefining Recovery from Aphasia written by Dalia Cahana-Amitay and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2015-01-07 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on two fundamental aspects of brain-language relations: one concerns the neural organization of language in the healthy brain; the other challenges current approaches to treatment of aphasia and offers a new theory for recovery from aphasia. The essence of the book lies in the phrase neural multifunctionality: the constant and dynamic incorporation of non-linguistic functions into language models of the intact brain. The book makes the claim that language is a construction, created as we use it, and cannot be understood as being supported by neurally based linguistic networks only. Rather, language emerges from the constant and dynamic interaction among neural networks subserving cognitive, affective, and praxic functions with neural networks subserving lexical retrieval (naming), sentence processing (comprehension), and discourse (communication, conversation). In persons with stroke-induced aphasia, neural networks for executive system function, attention, memory, motor system function, visual system function, and emotion interact with neural networks for language to produce the aphasia profile and to influence recovery from aphasia. Consequently, neural multifunctionality in aphasia explains individual differences in the lesion-deficit model and continued recovery over time, redefining the concept of recovery from aphasia and offering new opportunities for treatment.

Download or read book The Science of Aphasia Rehabilitation written by Chris Code and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-02-05 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the rehabilitation of language disorders in adults, presenting new research, as well as expert insights and perspectives, into this area. The first chapter presents a study on personalised cueing to enhance word finding. Cynthia K. Thompson and her colleagues contribute a chapter describing The Northwestern Naming Battery and its use in examining for verb and noun deficits in stroke-induced and primary progressive aphasia. Heather Harris-Wright and Gilson J. Capilouto examine a multi-level approach to understanding the maintenance of global coherence in aphasia. Kathryn M. Yorkston and colleagues provide discussion on the training of healthcare professionals, and what speech and language pathology and medical education can learn from one another. Yorkston also presents a systematic review asking whether principles of motor learning can enhance retention and transfer of speech skills. Connie A. Tompkins present a single-participant experiment examining generalization of a novel treatment for coarse coding deficit in right hemisphere damage. Finally, Chris Code returns to the topic of apportioning time for aphasia treatment. This book was originally published as a special issue of Aphasiology.

Download or read book Pharmacology and Aphasia written by Marcelo L. Berthier and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-14 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides clinicians and researchers with the current state-of-the-art on the pharmacological treatment of aphasia. The focus is on the role of different pharmacological agents to improve aphasia associated with stroke and to attenuate language dissolution in degenerative conditions like Alzheimer’s disease and primary progressive aphasia. This book is the first one that addresses these topics. Leaders in the field provide tutorial reviews on how focal brain injury and degeneration impact on the normal the activity of different neurotransmitter systems and how drugs combined or not with rehabilitation can improve language and communication deficits. This is nicely illustrated by studies on single cases and case series describing the beneficial effects of interventions combining drugs with evidence-based rehabilitation techniques. Throughout the volume, future directions to refine testing aimed to detect gains in language and non-language cognitive deficits promoted by drug treatment are highlighted. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in the rehabilitation of aphasia and related cognitive disorders. This book was originally published as a special issue of Aphasiology.

Book excerpt: Originally published in 1987, Aphasia Therapy surveys the approaches to aphasia treatment from throughout the world that have been taken both in the past and in the present day. The authors critically examine the assumptions underlying different approaches, and show their effects on modern clinical practices. Finally, the book offers new perspectives on some contemporary issues in aphasia therapy, the effectiveness of treatment, and the relationship between an analysis of a patient’s problems and the processes of treatment. Aphasia Therapy is divided into three parts: Part 1 illustrates some approaches to treatment in the period up to World War II – for instance, a didactic approach which emphasised the importance of repetition; the second part considers the different kinds of approaches to therapy that have developed since then – seven "schools" of treatment are identified; Part 3 considers whether there is evidence that treatment of aphasia is effective: the authors argue that in future, aphasia treatment must involve the development and evaluation of specific treatment methods that are theoretically motivated by a coherent analysis of the individual patient’s problems. Students, postgraduates, and practising clinicians in speech therapy will find this volume of great interest, as will neuropsychologists and clinical psychologists.

Download or read book Aphasia written by David Frank Benson and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1996 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An up-to-date, integrated analysis of the language disturbances associated with brain pathology, this book examines the different types of aphasia combining two clinical approaches: the neurological and the neuropsychological. Although they stress the clinical aspects of aphasia syndromes, they also review assessment techniques, linguistic analyses, problems of aphasia classification, and frequently occurring related disorders such as alexia, agraphia, alcalculia, and anomia. In addition, they examine commonly encountered speech disorders, neurobehavioral and psychiatric problems commonly associated with aphasia, and the language characteristics of aging and dementia. Rehabilitation and recovery are discussed, and a neural basis for aphasia and related problems is proposed. Neuropsychologists, neurologists, speech therapists, psychiatrists, and occupational therapists will find this book invaluable when dealing with language disorders resulting from brain disease or injury.

Rooks Jr. Distinguished Professor of Neurology and Clinical and Health Psychology and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2003-02-05 with total page 735 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Clinical Neuropsychology comprehensively reviews the major neurobehavioral disorders associated with brain dysfunction. Since the third edition appeared in 1993 there have been many advances in the understanding and treatment of neurobehavioral disorders. This edition, like prior editions, describes the classical signs and symptoms associated with the major behavioral disorders such as aphasia, agraphia, alexia, amnesia, apraxia, neglect, executive disorders and dementia. It also discusses advances in assessing, diagnosing and treating these disorders and it addresses the brain mechanisms underlying these deficits. A multi-authored text has the advantage of having authorities write about the disorders in which they have expertise. The fourth edition adds new authors and five entirely new chapters on phonologic aspects of language disorders, syntactic aspects of language disorders, lexical-semantic aspects of language disorders, anosognosia, hallucinations and related conditions. This is the most comprehensive edition of this text to date. It will be of value to clinicians, investigators, and students from a variety of disciplines, including neurology, psychology, cognitive neuroscience, psychiatry, and speech pathology.

Book excerpt: This thesis investigates the development and testing of a novel tablet-based speech comprehension therapy, for persons with chronic aphasia (PWA). // In Chapter 1 of this thesis, I present a qualitative study on the development of a speech comprehension therapy app (Listen-In), with gamification. Five co-design focus groups were carried out, resulting in an iterative cycle of prototype development. Using thematic analysis, a number of barriers to usability and enjoyability were identified. This resulted in a multitude of design changes, which led to a final product suitable to be self-administered by patients. // In Chapter 2, I analysed data from a cross-over clinical trial of Listen-In (N=35), which compared 12-weeks of Listen-In treatment with 12-weeks of standard care. These findings showed: (i) PWA made large and significant gains in speech comprehension for words trained during treatment; (ii) gains were item specific, suggesting facilitation of item-specific networks; (iii) a combination of baseline measures explained only a small amount of variability in treatment outcomes. // In Chapter 3, I used voxel-based morphometry (VBM) to investigate whether baseline structural integrity contributed to treatment outcomes, in a subgroup of patients (N=25). I found that greater volume of mainly white matter, in distributed regions in the right hemisphere, predicted greater response to treatment. I speculated that these regions related to multi-functional networks supporting a range of cognitive and language functions. // In Chapter 4, I used longitudinal VBM to investigate therapy-driven structural neuroplasticity in the same subgroup of patients. I found that greater improvements in comprehension of treated items, were related to tissue changes in bilateral temporal lobes, in key speech processing regions. // In the final discussion section, I interpret these key findings, their clinical implications, and directions for future research.
