Evidence for Intensive Aphasia Therapy: Consideration of Theories from Neuroscience and Cognitive Psychology
Treatment intensity is a critical component to the delivery of speech-language pathology and rehabilitation services. Within aphasia rehabilitation, however, there is currently insufficient evidence to guide clinical decision making with respect to the optimal treatment intensity. This review considers perspectives from two key bodies of research; the neuroscience and cognitive psychology literature, with respect to the scheduling of aphasia rehabilitation services. Neuroscience research suggests that intensive training is a key element of rehabilitation and is necessary in order to achieve functional and neurological changes post-stroke.

A Randomized Comparative Study of Manually Assisted Versus Robotic-Assisted Body Weight Supported Treadmill Training in Persons With a Traumatic Brain Injury
Conclusions: The results of this study demonstrate greater improvement in symmetry of gait (step length) for RATT and no significant differences between RATT and MATT with regard to improvement in gait velocity, endurance, and SIS. Our study provides evidence that participants with a chronic TBI can experience improvements in gait parameters with gait training with either MATT or RATT.
