Stroke Recurrence and Its Relationship With Language Abilities
Conclusions History of prior stroke in itself may not significantly influence language impairment after an additional acute left hemisphere stroke, unless it contributes substantially to the total volume of infarcted brain tissue. Chronic and acute lesion volumes should be accounted for in studies investigating poststroke language performance and recovery.

Internal Consistency and Convergent Validity of Self-Report and By-Proxy Measures of Depression in Persons With Aphasia
Conclusions We suggest both the CESD-R and the SADQ-10 be used together to screen for depression in persons with aphasia. Further studies with larger sample sizes need to be conducted to establish validity of other depression screening instruments in person with aphasia.PMID:33989032 | DOI:10.1044/2021_JSLHR-20-00621

Recovery of Apraxia of Speech and Aphasia in Patients With Hand Motor Impairment After Stroke
Conclusion: Our findings confirm the common occurrence of AOS and aphasia in left hemisphere stroke patients with a hand motor impairment. Recovery was similar across speech-language and motor domains, even in patients with severe impairment, supporting the shared recovery hypothesis and that similar brain recovery mechanisms are involved in speech-language and motor recovery post stroke. These observations contribute to the knowledge of AOS and its relation to motor and language functions and add information that may serve as a basis for future studies of post stroke recovery. Studies including neuroimaging and/or biologi...

The Effectiveness of Verbal-Gestural Treatment on Verb Naming in Acute Inpatient Rehabilitation
Conclusions This study indicates verbal-gestural treatment can be an effective treatment model for acute aphasia in a hospital environment. Concurrent deficits resulting from stroke may impact the success with verbal-gestural treatment at this acute phase of recovery.PMID:33734899 | DOI:10.1044/2020_AJSLP-20-00365

A Virtual, Randomized, Control Trial of a Digital Therapeutic for Speech, Language, and Cognitive Intervention in Post-stroke Persons With Aphasia
Conclusions: Overall, this study demonstrates the feasibility of a fully virtual trial for patients with post-stroke aphasia, especially given the ongoing COVID19 pandemic, as well as a safe, tolerable, and efficacious digital therapeutic for language/cognitive rehabilitation.Clinical Trial Registration:www.ClinicalTrials.gov, identifier NCT04488029.

Speech language therapists' experiences with subjective well-being in people with aphasia.
CONCLUSIONS & IMPLICATIONS: The results showed that SLTs feel responsible for addressing SWB in the management of people with aphasia. Their perception of the concept of SWB is similar to the definition used in the literature and is multifaceted. They feel responsible for the part of SWB that is related to communicative functioning, but less so for the more heuristic aspects of SWB. This is related to their experienced limitation of influence on SWB, which for some leaves them feeling out of depth and uncertain about boundaries between professionals. Addressing SWB in a multidisciplinary team is therefore considered im...

Effect of Low-Frequency rTMS and Intensive Speech Therapy Treatment on Patients With Nonfluent Aphasia After Stroke
Conclusions: Low-frequency rTMS combined with conventional ST treatment can effectively improve the language function of patients with nonfluent aphasia after stroke. Two times a day low-frequency rTMS therapy combined with conventional ST treatment can improve the language function of patients with nonfluent aphasia after stroke more effectively and it also promote the expression of BDNF more effectively, thereby improving nerve repair and protecting brain tissue.

Intensive and non-intensive treatment of lexical anomia are equally efficient in post-stroke aphasia.
Abstract Although the treatment for lexical anomia in individuals with aphasia (IWA) was shown effective, little is known about the optimal treatment intensity required. The aim of this study was to verify whether intensive and non-intensive treatments led to different outcomes when parameters of intensity are rigorously controlled. Six IWA with post-stroke lexical anomia received phonological treatment at two distinct frequencies: intensive (four times a week) and non-intensive (once a week). Results showed that both treatments were equally effective. This finding is especially relevant in contexts in which speec...

Working memory training in post-stroke aphasia: Near and far transfer effects.
CONCLUSION: Given the good generalizability of the WM training program on both WM and language performance, WM training is suggested as part of the rehabilitation program in aphasia. PMID: 33388697 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

The feasibility, usability and acceptability of a tablet-based aphasia therapy in the acute phase following stroke.
CONCLUSION: The aphasia exercise program in 'STAPP' is feasible to use as an additional rehabilitation tool along with standard of care in the acute phase post-stroke. Further research is needed to assess the efficacy. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION-URL: https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT03679637. PMID: 33418143 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Therapeutic relationships in aphasia rehabilitation: Using sociological theories to promote critical reflexivity.
CONCLUSIONS & IMPLICATIONS: While therapists commonly value therapeutic relationships, social and structural factors consciously and unconsciously influence their ability to prioritize relational work. Sociological theories can provide new lenses on our practice that can assist therapists to be critically reflexive about practice, and to enact changes to how they work to enhance therapeutic relationships with clients. What this paper adds What is already known on the subject Therapeutic relationships are critical in aphasia rehabilitation. We have a good understanding of the different components of therapeutic relation...

The relevance of stroke care for living well with post-stroke aphasia: a qualitative interview study with working-aged adults.
CONCLUSIONS: The results highlight a need for equitable, transparent, responsive access to services, information and stroke liaison support. The findings extend knowledge of the importance of stroke care for supporting working-aged adults and their families to live well in the context of aphasia. Implications for rehabilitation There is a need for equitable, transparent access to a responsive integrated pathway of stroke care to support living well with aphasia. People with aphasia post-stroke and their families need access to person-centred stroke care and information responsive to their changing needs at all stages of re...
