Altered resting-state network connectivity in stroke patients with and without apraxia of speech (S49.002)
CONCLUSIONS: These results highlight the left PM region’s involvement in AOS, begin to differentiate it’s neural mechanisms from those of other motor impairments following stroke, and help inform us of the neural mechanisms driving differences in speech motor planning and programming following stroke.

Effectiveness of technologies in the treatment of post-stroke anomia: A systematic review.
We examined 23 studies in this review. To date, computers constitute the most popular technology by far; only a few studies explored the effectiveness of smart tablets. In some studies, technology was used as a therapy tool in a clinical setting, in the presence of the clinician, while in others, therapy with technology was self-administered at home, without the clinician. All studies confirmed the effectiveness of therapy provided by technology to improve naming of trained items. However, generalisation to untrained items is unclear and assessment of generalisation to daily communication is rare. DISCUSSION: The resu...

An Update on Medications and Noninvasive Brain Stimulation to Augment Language Rehabilitation in Post-Stroke Aphasia.
Authors: Saxena S, Hillis AE Abstract INTRODUCTION: Aphasia is among the most debilitating outcomes of stroke. Aphasia is a language disorder occurring in 10-30% of stroke survivors. Speech and Language Therapy (SLT) is the gold standard, mainstay treatment for aphasia, but gains from SLT may be incomplete. Pharmaceutical and noninvasive brain stimulation (NIBS) techniques may augment the effectiveness of SLT. Areas covered: Herein reviewed are studies of the safety and efficacy of these adjunctive interventions for aphasia, including randomized placebo-controlled and open-label trials, as well as case series from Pub...

Unification of behavioural, computational and neural accounts of word production errors in post-stroke aphasia
Publication date: Available online 27 March 2018 Source:NeuroImage: Clinical Author(s): Marija Tochadse, Ajay D. Halai, Matthew A. Lambon Ralph, Stefanie Abel Neuropsychological assessment, brain imaging and computational modelling have augmented our understanding of the multifaceted functional deficits in people with language disorders after stroke. Despite the volume of research using each technique, no studies have attempted to assimilate all three approaches in order to generate a unified behavioural-computational-neural model of post-stroke aphasia. The present study included data from 53 participants with chronic po...

Generalizing post-stroke prognoses from research data to clinical data
Publication date: Available online 14 October 2019Source: NeuroImage: ClinicalAuthor(s): Robert Loughnan, Diego L. Lorca-Puls, Andrea Gajardo-Vidal, Valeria Espejo-Videla, Céline R. Gillebert, Dante Mantini, Cathy J. Price, Thomas M.H. HopeAbstractAround a third of stroke survivors suffer from acquired language disorders (aphasia), but current medicine cannot predict whether or when they might recover. Prognostic research in this area increasingly draws on datasets associating structural brain imaging data with outcome scores for ever-larger samples of stroke patients. The aim is to learn brain-behavior trends from these ...

Neural Tract Injuries Revealed by Diffusion Tensor Tractography in a Patient With Severe Heat Stroke
Neurologic sequelae of heat stroke are prevalent among patients with severe heat stroke who require admission to an intensive care unit. Radiologic diagnosis of the condition is challenging because not every patient with clinical deficits shows abnormalities in computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging. In this case review, we report a patient who had been diagnosed with a severe heat stroke and showed gait disturbance, language disorder, and cognitive impairment although conventional magnetic resonance imaging did not reveal significant findings that correlated with his symptoms. Diffusion tensor tractography has ...

An Efficient Bedside Measure Yields Prognostic Implications for Language Recovery in Acute Stroke Patients
Conclusion: The predictive value of this picture description task and correlations with existing language assessments substantiate the clinical importance of a reliable yet rapid bedside measure for acute stroke patients that can be administered by a variety of health care professionals.

Screening for Language Disorders in Stroke: German Validation of the Language Screening Test (LAST)
Background: Screening of aphasia in acute stroke is crucial for directing patients to early language therapy. The Language Screening Test (LAST), originally developed in French, is a validated language screening test that allows detection of a language deficit within a few minutes. The aim of the present study was to develop and validate two parallel German versions of the LAST. Methods: The LAST includes subtests for naming, repetition, automatic speech, and comprehension. For the translation into German, task constructs and psycholinguistic criteria for item selection were identical to the French LAST. A cohort of 101 st...

Contemporary Approaches to the Management of Post-stroke Apraxia of Speech.
This article focuses on these recent advances. Studies investigating acoustic evaluation of AOS will be reviewed, as well as those that have considered the extent that neuroimaging can guide clinical decision making. Developments in the treatment of AOS will also be discussed. Although more research is needed regarding the use of these methods in everyday clinical practice, the studies reviewed here show promise as emerging tools for the management of AOS.

Potential analysis of research on speech therapy-led communication training in aphasia following stroke.
Authors: Kempf S, Lauer N, Corsten S, Voigt-Radloff S Abstract HEALTH PROBLEM: In Germany, about 100,000 people currently suffer from aphasia. This speech disorder occurs as a result of neurologic events such as stroke or traumatic brain injury. Aphasia causes major limitations in social participation and quality of life and can be associated with unemployability and social isolation. For affected persons, it is essential to regain and maintain autonomy in daily life, both at work and with family and friends. The loss of autonomy is perceived much more dramatically than the loss of speech. Clients wish to minimise ...

Post-stroke pure apraxia of speech – A rare experience
Publication date: Available online 23 August 2016 Source:Neurologia i Neurochirurgia Polska Author(s): Katarzyna Ewa Polanowska, Iwona Pietrzyk-Krawczyk Apraxia of speech (AOS) is a motor speech disorder, most typically caused by stroke, which in its “pure” form (without other speech-language deficits) is very rare in clinical practice. Because some observable characteristics of AOS overlap with more common verbal communication neurologic syndromes (i.e. aphasia, dysarthria) distinguishing them may be difficult. The present study describes AOS in a 49-year-old right-handed male after left-hemispheric stroke. Analysis ...

“Accent issue”: foreign accent syndrome following ischemic stroke
In conclusion, FAS is a rare motor speech disorder, often related to cerebrovascular accidents involving critical regions in the dominant hemisphere. In addition, the present case adds further evidence to the role of the left primary motor cortex in modulation of prosody. In rare cases FAS can be the only sign of stroke or can appear after recovery from post-stroke aphasia.

Spinal or Cortical direct current stimulation: Which is the best? Evidence from apraxia of speech in post-stroke aphasia.
Abstract To date, new advances in technology have already shown the effectiveness of non-invasive brain stimulation and, in particular, of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), in enhancing language recovery in post-stroke aphasia. More recently, it has been suggested that the stimulation over the spinal cord improves the production of words associated to sensorimotor schemata, such as action verbs. Here, for the first time, we present evidence that transpinal direct current stimulation (tsDCS) combined with a language training is efficacious for the recovery from speech apraxia, a motor speech disorder ...
