The Longitudinal Trajectory of Discourse from the Hyperacute to the Chronic Phase in Mild to Moderate Poststroke Aphasia Recovery: A Case Series Study
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Brisebois, Amélie; Brambati, Simona Maria; Rochon, Elizabeth; Leonard, Carol; Marcotte, Karine – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2023
Background: Discourse analysis has recently received much attention in the aphasia literature. Even if post-stroke language recovery occurs throughout the longitudinal continuum of recovery, very few studies have documented discourse changes from the hyperacute to the chronic phases of recovery. Aims: To document a multilevel analysis of discourse…

Lavoie, Monica; Black, Sandra E.; Tang-Wai, David F.; Graham, Naida L.; Stewart, Steven; Leonard, Carol; Rochon, Elizabeth – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2021
Background: Despite its importance, in-depth analysis of connected speech is often neglected in the diagnosis of primary progressive aphasia (PPA) -- especially for the logopenic variant (lvPPA) for which unreliable differential diagnosis has been documented. Only a few studies have been conducted on this topic in lvPPA. Aims: The aim of this…

Background: Evidence-based recommendations for a core outcome set (COS; minimum set of outcomes) for aphasia treatment research have been developed (the Research Outcome Measurement in Aphasia--ROMA, COS). Five recommended core outcome constructs: communication, language, quality of life, emotional well-being and patient-reported…

Code, Chris; Papathanasiou, Ilias; Rubio-Bruno, Silvia; Cabana, María de la Paz; Villanueva, Maria Marta; Haaland-Johansen, Line; Prizl-Jakovac, Tatjana; Leko, Ana; Zemva, Nada; Patterson, Ruth; Berry, Richard; Rochon, Elizabeth; Leonard, Carol; Robert, Amelie – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2016
Background: It has been suggested that public awareness of aphasia is vital for extending services, research support, social inclusion and targeted raising of awareness. Earlier studies show that knowledge of aphasia varies across a range of variables, but is very low compared with other conditions. Aims: To report a series of surveys of public…

Neural Changes after Phonological Treatment for Anomia: An fMRI Study
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Rochon, Elizabeth; Leonard, Carol; Burianova, Hana; Laird, Laura; Soros, Peter; Graham, Simon; Grady, Cheryl – Brain and Language, 2010
Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) was used to investigate the neural processing characteristics associated with word retrieval abilities after a phonologically-based treatment for anomia in two stroke patients with aphasia. Neural activity associated with a phonological and a semantic task was compared before and after treatment with…
