Measuring communication as a core outcome in aphasia trials: Results of the ROMA-2 international core outcome set development meeting
CONCLUSIONS & IMPLICATIONS: Consensus was achieved that TST was the preferred communication OMI for inclusion in the ROMA COS. It is currently available in the original Dutch version and has been adapted into English, German and Greek. Further consideration must be given to the best way to measure communication in people with mild aphasia. Development of a patient-reported measure for satisfaction with/impact of treatment and multilingual versions of all OMIs of the COS is still required. Implementation of the ROMA COS would improve research outcome measurement and the quality, relevance, transparency, replicability and ef...

Adaptation of The Scenario Test for Greek-speaking people with aphasia: A reliability and validity study
CONCLUSIONS & IMPLICATIONS: The psychometric qualities of The Scenario Test-GR support the reliability and validity of the tool for the assessment of FC in Greek-speaking PWA. The test can be used to assess multimodal FC, promote aphasia rehabilitation goal-setting at the activity and participation levels, and be used as an outcome measure of everyday communication abilities.PMID:35555844 | DOI:10.1111/1460-6984.12727

Time reference, morphology and prototypicality: tense production in stroke aphasia and semantic dementia in Greek.
Abstract The present study aims at investigating verb inflection in aphasia and semantic dementia. In particular, it addresses the contribution of time reference and morphological complexity. Moreover, it investigates whether the lexical properties of the verb, such as argument structure and lexical aspect interact with the production of tense. Ten individuals with (different types of) stroke aphasia and five individuals with semantic dementia and their respective control groups conducted a sentence completion task. Three tenses were tested: past perfective, past imperfective and present. All tenses had to be prod...

Evaluating Personal Stroke Narratives from Bilingual Greek-English Immigrants with Aphasia
Conclusion: The results have implications for policy-makers providing health and welfare services to ageing immigrant populations. The findings are also relevant to other countries that have large immigrant populations of stroke survivors.Folia Phoniatr Logop 2019;71:101 –115

Compound production in agrammatism: Evidence from stroke-induced and Primary Progressive Aphasia
Publication date: August 2018Source: Journal of Neurolinguistics, Volume 47Author(s): Konstantina Kordouli, Christina Manouilidou, Stavroula Stavrakaki, Dimitra Mamouli, Katerina Afantenou, Panagiotis IoannidisAbstractThe present multiple case study investigates the production of compound words in three Greek-speaking individuals with agrammatism, as a symptom either of stroke-induced aphasia or Primary Progressive Aphasia (PPA). Two off-line tasks were conducted, a picture naming and a production by definition task, using different types of compounds, in order to examine patients' ability to produce complex morphological ...

Wants Talk Psychotherapy but Cannot Talk: EMDR for Post-stroke Depression with Expressive Aphasia
CONCLUSION This is the first reported case demonstrating that EMDR can be effective for depression, even in those with severe expressive aphasia. In our case, there was no reluctance to disclose information, simply a neurological inability to do so. Through preparation, patience, perseverance, and plasticity (clinician flexibility, though perhaps also neuroplasticity), the patient’s PSD gradually improved, and she was able to reinvent her life within her limitations. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The authors gratefully acknowledge Eugene Schwartz, E.C. Hurley, and Mark Hubner for providing consultation during patient care. REFERENCES ...
