Background: There is a growing body of evidence showing the value of community singing-based rehabilitation on psychosocial well-being and communication for people with post-stroke communication impairment (PSCI). However, there has been little consideration of the potential value an inpatient aphasia-friendly choir may have through the…

Tierney-Hendricks, Carla; Miller, Jennifer; Lopez, Ruth Palan; Conger, Sarah; Vallila-Rohter, Sofia – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2023
Background: Engagement is recognized as an important factor in aphasia treatment response and outcomes, yet gaps remain in our understanding of engagement and practices that promote engagement from the client perspective. Aims: The purpose of this phenomenological study was to explore how clients with aphasia experience engagement during their…

Sophie Chalmers; Fiona Gillies; Sarah Wallace – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2024
Background: Based on stakeholder conversations, speech and language therapists have anecdotally observed cases of dysphagia with suspected laryngeal hypersensitivity. These presentations have been coined as 'muscle tension dysphagia' often with concurrent laryngeal sensitivity symptoms. However, the role of laryngeal hypersensitivity in dysphagia…

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…

Jacinda Choy; Fereshteh Pourkazemi; Hans Bogaardt; Caitlin Anderson; Shing Yee Chai; Roxanna N. Pebdani – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2024
Background: Dysphagia affects over half of adults after stroke. Dysphagia rehabilitation aims to improve swallowing and reduce negative outcomes for these adults. However, significant variability exists in dysphagia rehabilitation. Research is needed to explore the underlying clinician-specific and workplace factors that contribute to variability…

Manning, Molly; MacFarlane, Anne; Hickey, Anne; Galvin, Rose; Franklin, Sue – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2022
Background: People with post-stroke aphasia (PWA) are more likely to experience serious mood disorders compared with those without. Emotional regulation may be important for influencing life participation after stroke. Understanding emotional regulation in the context of aphasia is important for promoting personally defined recovery, psychological…

Warner, Heather; Cometz, Alexa – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2023
Background: Patients with schizophrenia present with both cognitive impairment as well as language difficulties. There are similarities in the language output of patients with schizophrenia and patients with aphasia, thus a differential diagnosis of patients who present with a question of dual diagnoses can be a clinical challenge. This case…

Themistocleous, Charalambos; Neophytou, Kyriaki; Rapp, Brenda; Tsapkini, Kyrana – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2020
Purpose: The evaluation of spelling performance in aphasia reveals deficits in written language and can facilitate the design of targeted writing treatments. Nevertheless, manual scoring of spelling performance is time-consuming, laborious, and error prone. We propose a novel method based on the use of distance metrics to automatically score…

Clàudia Roca; Ignasi Ivern; Ignacio Cifre; Olga Bruna – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2024
Background: In the Spanish and Catalan context, there is currently a lack of standardized, linguistically adapted tools to assess people with communication disorders. This lack is especially evident when it comes to instruments designed to assess functional communication. Aims: The main objective of this study is to adapt the instrument entitled…

Taubert, Shana T.; Burns, Clare L.; Ward, Elizabeth C.; Bassett, Lynell – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2022
Background: Speech and language therapists (SLTs) use videofluoroscopic swallow study (VFSS) results to manage dysphagia. Yet, in some services only doctors can directly request a VFSS, potentially creating workflow inefficiencies and delaying patient access to VFSS. An alternative model, where SLTs directly refer patients for VFSS, is used in…

Loizidou, Maria; Brotherhood, Emilie; Harding, Emma; Crutch, Sebastian; Warren, Jason D.; Hardy, Chris J. D.; Volkmer, Anna – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2023
Background: Primary progressive aphasia (PPA) describes a group of language-led dementias. PPAs are complex, diverse and difficult to diagnose, and therefore conventional models of aphasia and dementia treatment do not meet their needs. The research evidence on intervention for PPA is developing, but to date there are only a few case studies…

Engelhoven, Amy E. R.; Bislick, Lauren; Gray, Sara; Pompon, Rebecca Hunting – Topics in Language Disorders, 2022
Purpose: Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) for persons with aphasia (PWA) are commonly used to measure various outcomes. Persons with aphasia commonly present with language deficits that can likely increase respondent burden. Elements that contribute to respondent burden include readability, design, and formatting methods. The aims of this…

Jimenez Forero, Sonia J.; Palmer, Rebecca – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2023
Background: In order to conduct research that is meaningful to speech and language therapy services and their patients, it is often desirable to conduct the research within routine clinical services. This can require considerable time and commitment from speech and language therapists (SLTs). It is therefore important to understand the impact that…

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…
