Zali Hall; Elise Elbourn; Leanne Togher; Marcella Carragher – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2024
Background: Meaningful, varied, joyful conversation is an important therapy target for adults with language or cognitive-communication disorders following acquired brain injury (ABI). However, the complexity of daily communication is often reduced to component parts within intervention programmes, with mixed evidence of generalization to everyday…

Lisa D. Bunker; Dallin J. Bailey; Elaine Poss; Shannon Mauszycki; Julie L. Wambaugh – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2024
Purpose: Neurogenic speech and language disorders--such as acquired apraxia of speech (AOS) and aphasia with phonemic paraphasia (APP)--are often misdiagnosed due to similarities in clinical presentation. Word syllable duration (WSD)--a measure of average syllable length in multisyllabic words--serves as a proxy for speech rate, which is an…

Sarah-Maria Thumbeck; Philipp Schmid; Sophie Chesneau; Frank Domahs – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2024
Background: People with aphasia (PWA) frequently experience difficulties in understanding longer written content such as paragraphs or books. Reading strategies are a promising approach to treat text-level reading comprehension deficits in PWA. Nevertheless, empirical evidence for their efficacy remains rare. Aims: The primary objective of this…

Marie-Pier McSween; Tasman Day; Jessica Hill; Sarah J. Wallace – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2024
Background: There is increasing interest in the incorporation of animal-assisted services (AAS) in therapy for adults with acquired neurogenic communication disorders. AAS have the potential to enhance speech and language therapy engagement and outcomes. However, a greater understanding of the nature and potential benefits of these interventions…

Douglas, Joanne T. – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2023
Background: Primary progressive aphasia (PPA) is a rare neurodegenerative brain disorder characterized by declining language ability. There is currently no way to reverse or slow the course of the progressive brain degeneration, nor is there a cure for PPA. Throughout the course of the disease, any treatment must therefore be palliative in nature…

Brancamp, Tami U. – Topics in Language Disorders, 2023
The purpose of this original essay is to describe the process of developing a stakeholder-engaged research (SER) team with people who have aphasia. The SER process is described through the lens of posttraumatic growth and depreciation in aphasia. This article describes the process of modifying the Posttraumatic Growth and Depreciation Inventory…

Qingqing Liu; Weibo Li; Yuanwu Chen; Shaohua Zhang; Zengxin Sun; Yuhui Yang; Peiyuan Lv; Yu Yin – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2024
Background: Although existing studies have shown that both repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) and music therapy have advantages in the treatment of non-fluent aphasia, the efficacy of the combination of these two methods remains to be investigated. Aims: To investigate the clinical efficacy of low-frequency rTMS combined with…

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…

Sachs, Alyssa Nicole Yuriko; language impairments – ProQuest LLC, 2023
Background: The most common cause of aphasia is a left middle cerebral artery stroke affecting the left perisylvian region of the brain. The perisylvian region is critical for supporting phonological processing, and damage to this region results in difficulty with retrieving and manipulating speech sounds. The impact of weakened phonology has been…

Bouvier, Liziane; Monetta, Laura; Laforce, Robert, Jr.; Vitali, Paolo; Bocti, Christian; Martel-Sauvageau, Vincent – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2021
Background: The term progressive apraxia of speech (PAOS) is used to describe speakers presenting with isolated or dominant apraxia of speech in the context of a neurodegenerative syndrome, including primary progressive apraxia of speech (PPAOS) and dominant progressive apraxia of speech (DAOS), respectively. Its motor speech profile has been…

Angela Burda; Courtney Banwart; Madison Engels; Heather Hogelucht; Lauren Lilly; Hallee Mingus; Deepthy Nair; Madison Simon – Communication Disorders Quarterly, 2024
Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) is an acquired neurological disorder primarily affecting physical and visual functioning. There is a lack of empirical evidence in the existing literature about the nature of speech, language, and cognitive deficits associated with NMOSD. Hence, this case study provides assessment information about a…

Keren Kankam; Laura Murray – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2024
Background: Aphasia, a common consequence of stroke, which affects both communication and social functioning, and in turn, quality of life, is on the rise due to increases in stroke prevalence and survival rate. The rehabilitation of post-stroke aphasia primarily falls within the purview of speech-language pathology and research supports the…

Luisa Cacciante; Giorgia Pregnolato; Silvia Salvalaggio; Sara Federico; Pawel Kiper; Nicola Smania; Andrea Turolla – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2024
Background: Humans often use co-speech gestures to promote effective communication. Attention has been paid to the cortical areas engaged in the processing of co-speech gestures. Aims: To investigate the neural network underpinned in the processing of co-speech gestures and to observe whether there is a relationship between areas involved in…

Nunn, Kristen; Vallila-Rohter, Sofia; Middleton, Erica L. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2023
Purpose: Increasingly, mechanisms of learning are being considered during aphasia rehabilitation. Well-characterized learning mechanisms can inform "how" interventions should be administered to maximize the acquisition and retention of treatment gains. This systematic scoping review mapped hypothesized mechanisms of action (MoAs) and…

Lo, Suzanne Hoi Shan; Chau, Janita Pak Chun – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2023
Background: People with post-stroke aphasia tend to have smaller social networks, a higher risk of depression and poorer health-related quality of life than those who do not have aphasia after stroke. Stroke-specific or general rehabilitation programmes offered by community-based organizations are commonly group-based and involve discussions among…
