Acceptability, feasibility and preliminary efficacy of low-moderate intensity Constraint Induced Aphasia Therapy and Multi-Modality Aphasia Therapy in chronic aphasia after stroke
CONCLUSIONS: Low-moderateintensity CIAT-Plus and M-MAT were feasible and acceptable. Both interventions show preliminary efficacy at a low-moderate intensity. These results support a powered trial investigating these interventions at a low-moderate intensity.PMID:37036031 | DOI:10.1080/10749357.2023.2196765

A right convergence area of the prefrontal lobe is involved in the improvement of semantic fluency in patients with post-stroke aphasia
CONCLUSION: The improvement of semantic fluency in subacute PSA patients may require the participation of the right convergence area of the prefrontal lobe.PMID:37651207 | DOI:10.1080/10749357.2023.2253632

Supporting Autonomy for People with Aphasia: Use of the Life Interests and Values (LIV) Cards.
Conclusions: PWA were able to provide information about their current and preferred involvement in life activities through use of the LIV Cards. Family members did not predict activity choices and desires of PWA with full accuracy. The LIV Cards appear to be a viable tool for setting goals and discussing life priorities of PWA.

Speech language pathologists' opinions of constraint-induced language therapy.
CONCLUSIONS: Some SLPs hold significant concerns with the administration of CILT, particularly related to its dosing and reimbursement parameters. Additional work is needed to investigate the issues that were identified in this survey using qualitative methods with SLPs and people with aphasia and to examine modified CILT protocols.

Group therapy as a social context for aphasia recovery: a pilot, observational study in an acute rehabilitation hospital.
CONCLUSION: In the aphasia group treatment described in this study, participants initiated more communication, with greater diversity of expressive modalities and more varied communicative purposes. Participants in group therapy also showed an increased tendency to communicate for the purpose of social closeness. These findings suggest that there are important differences in the communication of patients participating in group vs. individual speech therapy for treatment of acute, severe non-fluent aphasia.

Preferred Visuographic Images to Support Reading by People with Chronic Aphasia.
CONCLUSIONS: All participants preferred high-context photographs rather than iconic images or portraits as potential supports to facilitate reading activities. Differences in opinions emerged across participants regarding the amount of preferred content included in high context images. PMID: 27077988 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

A pilot study examining the impact of aphasia camp participation on quality of life for people with aphasia.
This study provides preliminary evidence that aphasia camp participation can result in improved outcomes for PWA across a range of domains. Aphasia camps provide a unique intervention for PWA and caregivers to experience therapeutic and recreational activities, respite and create social connections in a supported communication environment. Future studies should recruit a greater number of participants, employ control groups, and examine outcomes for caregivers. PMID: 27309276 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

The perspectives of adults with aphasia and their team members regarding the importance of nine life areas for rehabilitation: a pilot investigation.
This study aimed to describe and compare the perspectives of adults with aphasia, their significant others and their speech-language pathologists (SLPs) regarding the importance of nine life areas for the rehabilitation of adults with aphasia. METHOD: A total of 15 adults with expressive aphasia rated the importance of nine life areas using the Talking Mats™ framework. A questionnaire was used to obtain the ratings of 15 of their significant others and the 15 SLPs treating them. RESULTS: Most life areas were rated as important to work on in rehabilitation by most participants. The adults with aphasia rated the ...

Social participation in working-age adults with aphasia: an updated systematic review.
CONCLUSIONS: While the ICF conceptual framework is increasingly used, no studies used the A-FROM. There is greater use of standardized assessments and larger sample sizes. PMID: 28851257 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
