Diffusion tensor imaging magnetic resonance imaging (DTI-MRI) helps to tailor speech therapy: A case report with a short narrative review
CONCLUSION: Brain MRI is confirmed as a multimodal tool evaluating the damage, both from the point of structural and functional view. Tractography in aphasia allows focusing on major pathways. The involvement of the arcuate fascicle, whose lesion disconnects Broca's and Wernicke's areas, is related to clinical improvement, and represents a neural correlate of the brain injury recovery process that physicians and speech therapists might be aware of it, tailoring the plane of care of each patient.PMID:37638456 | DOI:10.3233/NRE-230082

Effects of mirror therapy on motor aphasia after acute cerebral infarction: A randomized controlled trial
CONCLUSIONS: Our results indicate that the MT can expedite the recovery of language function during the early phases of stroke recovery. These findings may elucidate the underlying mechanism of MT and the application of this therapy as an adjunct rehabilitation technique in language recovery.PMID:34180428 | DOI:10.3233/NRE-210125

Dysarthria as a predictor of dysphagia following stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: A comprehensive evaluation of dysphagia, aphasia, and dysarthria are important to improve clinical outcome following stroke. The identification of dysarthria as a predictor of dysphagia can help identify risk for dysphagia in stroke and assist in the therapeutic process of swallowing problems.
