Aphasia FAQs for the Rehabilitation Professional
Aphasia is a communication impairment that results from injury or damage to the left side of the brain. It may occur after a stroke, brain injury, or other neurologic condition. Aphasia refers to loss of language abilities. It can result in difficulty speaking, listening, reading, or writing. Many individuals also have difficulty repeating things spoken to them, although some people with aphasia can completely mimic utterances, leading those around them to assume greater language abilities than they have.

Supportive Communication for Individuals with Aphasia
Aphasia is a language disorder that affects speaking, listening, reading, and writing. Aphasia is most commonly caused by a stroke or injury to the left side of the brain. Brain tumors and other neurologic diseases can also cause aphasia. Because of language impairments, individuals with aphasia struggle to participate in daily life activities involving communication in health care settings, at home, or in their community.1 People with aphasia and their communication partners can use supportive strategies to help them communicate in daily life.

Return to Work for People With Aphasia
Right now, about 2.5 million people in the United States are living with aphasia after stroke.1 Aphasia can make it difficult to talk, listen, read, and/or write. Stroke is the most common cause of aphasia, but it can also happen after a traumatic brain injury (eg, blow to the head), a brain tumor, brain infection, or a neurodegenerative disease (eg, Alzheimer's dementia).2 Many people with aphasia are of working age, and this number is going up as more young people in the United States are sustaining stroke.

Guide to Living With Aphasia
After stroke and other injuries, people often have difficulty with communication. Aphasia—defined as difficulty with communication—affects about 1 million people in the United States. It may occur as a partial or total loss of the ability to talk, to understand what people say, and/or to read or write. For example, you may not be able to retrieve from your memory the names of particular objects or may not be able to put words together into sentences. More often, many aspects of communication are affected at the same time. People with aphasia still have the same level of intelligence that they did before the stroke; aph...

Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) to Enhance Treatment Effects in Aphasia
Since 2008 several small studies have shown an additional effect of tDCS, a non-invasive method to stimulate the brain by modifying cortical excitability, on language functioning when applied during aphasia therapy in chronic stroke patients. In our poster, we present this new technique and we describe the design of our ongoing effect study in sub-acute stroke patients. Furthermore, we investigate tDCS-induced neural reorganization of language.

Aphasia-accessible Spatial Neglect Care
To learn whether the Catherine Bergego Scale (CBS) via the Kessler Foundation Neglect Assessment Process, and prism adaptation therapy (PAT; Barrett and Houston, 2019) provided aphasia-accessible spatial neglect care, in a left-handed, Cambodian-speaking stroke survivor (55 years) with right spatial neglect and global aphasia. Right-sided spatial neglect affects up to 50% of left brain stroke survivors, however many are never diagnosed or treated. A therapist can encounter great difficulty instructing people with communication disability (aphasia) during neglect assessment and treatment.

Carotid Artery Thrombus Caused by Severe Iron Deficiency Anemia Induced Reactive Thrombocytosis, Leading to Stroke in a Young Patient
We report a case of a 42 year old female with history of iron deficiency anemia (IDA),fibroid uterus, menorrhagia, thrombocytosis and cerebrovascular accident (CVA) in 2012 with no residual deficits, who presented with expressive aphasia and left sided hemiparesis concerning for a right middle cerebral artery infarct. Patient was found to be a candidate for intravenous tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) and received tPA within 60 minutes of arrival to the hospital with improvement in her symptoms.

Variables In Language Recovery Patterns During Inpatient Neuro-Rehabilitation
Aphasia affects as many as 40% of adults with stroke and is associated with increased morbidity, mortality and poorer quality of life. Despite its prevalence, clinical prognostication remains limited. While there is clear evidence to support the predictive value of both etiology of acquired brain injury and size of lesion for aphasia recovery, less is known about the influence of the non-dominant hemisphere and patient-specific factors. This poster highlights a retrospective analysis of language recovery of persons with aphasia (PWAs) during their stay in acute neuro-rehabilitation unit.
