Effects of computer-based therapy versus therapist-mediated therapy in stroke-related aphasia: Pilot non-inferiority study
CONCLUSIONS: The overall pattern of findings suggested computer-based intervention was not inferior to traditional therapist-based intervention for enhancing functional communication deficits in stroke-related aphasia during the acute phase of recovery. A follow-up, fully-powered clinical trial is needed to confirm the reliability of these results.PMID:34673449 | DOI:10.1016/j.jcomdis.2021.106158

Slowed Compensation Responses to Altered Auditory Feedback in Post-Stroke Aphasia: Implications for Speech Sensorimotor Integration.
In this study, we aimed to address these issues by examining the behavioral correlates of speech sensorimotor impairment under altered auditory feedback (AAF) and their relationship with the impaired ability to independently correct for online errors during picture naming in people with aphasia. We found that people with aphasia generate slower vocal compensation response to pitch-shift AAF stimuli compared with controls. However, when the timing of responses was controlled for, no significant difference in the magnitude of vocal pitch compensation was observed between aphasia and control groups. Moreover, no relationship ...

The effects of intensity on a phonological treatment for anomia in post-stroke aphasia
CONCLUSIONS: Although replication in a larger sample is warranted, results suggest that PCA treatment is similarly efficacious when delivered at different intensities. Other factors related to the quality of treatment (i.e., active ingredients such as cue-generation) may play an important role in determining treatment efficacy and must also be considered when comparing treatment intensities.PMID:34166970 | DOI:10.1016/j.jcomdis.2021.106125

Clinical perspectives and strategies for confronting disparities in social determinants of health for Hispanic bilinguals with aphasia
J Commun Disord. 2022 Jun 3;98:106231. doi: 10.1016/j.jcomdis.2022.106231. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDisparities in social determinants of health (SDOH) such as socioeconomic status and access to quality healthcare present serious barriers to enrollment in clinical rehabilitation programs for individuals who have experienced a stroke, especially for those who identify with a racial-ethnic minority group. Hispanic bilinguals with aphasia (HBWA) are one marginalized group who face even greater enrollment challenges since post-stroke language impairment and limited English proficiency make it difficult to advocate for one...

Aphasia severity is modulated by race and lesion size in chronic survivors: A retrospective study
CONCLUSION: We suggest two explanations for the difference between Black and White SWA in the relationship between lesion size and aphasia severity. First, the impact of disparities in access to rehabilitation after stroke may be more evident when a stroke is larger and causes significant aphasia. Additionally, an assessment bias in aphasia outcome measures may be more evident with increasing severity of aphasia. Future studies should further discern the drivers of observed disparities in aphasia outcomes in order to identify opportunities to improve equity in aphasia care.PMID:36215784 | DOI:10.1016/j.jcomdis.2022.106270

Using bibliotherapy to rebuild identity for people with aphasia: A book club experience
CONCLUSION: The themes align positively with outcomes associated with the bibliotherapy process. Themes also integrate into a self-management model that promotes self-efficacy through education, support, awareness, problem solving and goal setting. Caveats included determining participant readiness to examine recovery issues and facilitator preparation. Aphasia book clubs surrounding psychosocial texts may help PwA reconstruct a positive post-stroke identity.PMID:37517172 | DOI:10.1016/j.jcomdis.2023.106363
