Efficacy of a self-administered treatment using a smart tablet to improve functional vocabulary in post-stroke aphasia: a case-series study.
CONCLUSIONS & IMPLICATIONS: This study confirms the efficacy of using smart tablets to improve naming in post-stroke aphasia. Although more studies are needed, the use of new technologies is unquestionably a promising approach to improve communication skills in people with aphasia, especially by targeting vocabulary that is relevant to them in their daily lives.

Effects of mechanical inspiration and expiration exercise on velopharyngeal incompetence in subacute stroke patients.
CONCLUSION: Mechanical inspiration and expiration exercise had a therapeutic effect on velopharyngeal incompetence in subacute stroke patients with dysphagia. This therapy is easy to provide clinically and could be a useful therapeutic strategy for velo-pharyngeal incompetence with dysphagia in patients with stroke.

Patterns of Recovery From Aphasia in the First 2 Weeks After Stroke.
Conclusion Overall language function typically improves substantially and steadily during the first 2 weeks after stroke, driven mostly by recovery of expressive language. Information on the trajectory of early recovery will increase the accuracy of prognoses and establish baseline expectations against which to evaluate the efficacy of interventions.

Self-managed, computerised speech and language therapy for patients with chronic aphasia post-stroke compared with usual care or attention control (Big CACTUS): a multicentre, single-blinded, randomised controlled trial
Publication date: September 2019Source: The Lancet Neurology, Volume 18, Issue 9Author(s): Rebecca Palmer, Munyaradzi Dimairo, Cindy Cooper, Pam Enderby, Marian Brady, Audrey Bowen, Nicholas Latimer, Steven Julious, Elizabeth Cross, Abualbishr Alshreef, Madeleine Harrison, Ellen Bradley, Helen Witts, Tim ChaterSummaryBackgroundPost-stroke aphasia might improve over many years with speech and language therapy; however speech and language therapy is often less readily available beyond a few months after stroke. We assessed self-managed computerised speech and language therapy (CSLT) as a means of providing more therapy than ...

Intra- and Interjudge Reliability of the Apraxia of Speech Rating Scale in Early Stroke Patients.
CONCLUSIONS: For clinicians without expert knowledge of AOS and limited training using the ASRS, intra- and interjudge reliability of the ASRS is not satisfactory. Also, since some items in the protocol require a certain level of speech production to target the diagnostic marker, findings indicate that the ASRS in its present design has limitations in assessment of severe AOS. As suggested by Strand and colleagues, video examples that illustrate the ASRS characteristics could be one helpful alternative to support clinician training. A minor revision of response definitions of the scale may improve the applicability of the ...

The Persian version of the Functional Oral Intake Scale (FOIS-P): a validation study on stroke patients with dysphagia
CONCLUSIONS: The FOIS-P is a valid and reliable tool for assessing oral intake in stroke survivors with dysphagia. Hence, the FOIS-P may be suitable for clinical and research in the field of stroke.PMID:33724141 | DOI:10.1080/14015439.2021.1896778

Pediatric Medullary Stroke, Severe Dysphagia, and Multimodal Intervention
We present a 7-year-old male with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (velocardiofacial syndrome) and velopharyngeal insufficiency who underwent pharyngeal flap surgery at an outside hospital whose post-operative course was complicated by adenovirus, viral myocarditis, and dorsal medullary stroke. He required a tracheostomy and gastrostomy tube. He was discharged from that hospital and readmitted to our hospital 4 months later for increased oxygen requirement, requiring a 5 month admission in the intensive care unit s. His initial VFSS revealed absent UES opening with the entire bolus remaining in the pyriform sinuses resulting in...

Understanding the Independent Predictors of Dysphagia-Related Quality of Life in Stroke Survivors
CONCLUSION: Factors related to dysphagia-related QoL are multifactorial and include both survivor and spousal variables. The results of this exploratory study highlight the need for clinicians and researchers to consider patient function and needs more wholistically to maximize perceived QoL.PMID:35344388 | DOI:10.1044/2022_JSLHR-21-00502

Generating Items for a Novel Bedside Dysphagia Screening Tool Post Acute Pediatric Stroke
The objective of this study was to identify items deemed relevant and feasible by expert consensus to inform the development of a bedside dysphagia screening tool for acute pediatric stroke. A two-phase study was conducted: (1) literature review and expert consultation generated a comprehensive list of dysphagia assessment items; (2) items were formatted in an online survey asking respondents opinion of relevance to acute pediatric stroke and feasibility for bedside administration by a trained health professional. The Dillman Tailored Design approach optimized response rate. Respondents were identified using the snowball m...

An Analysis of Right Hemisphere Stroke Discourse in the Modern Cookie Theft Picture
CONCLUSIONS: Multiple measures of microlinguistic discourse characteristics differentiated adults with right hemisphere stroke from controls, highlighting variations in both the quantity and quality of connected speech. Findings continue to underscore the contribution and correlation between cognitive skills and discourse performance. Future work is needed to assess the relationship between particular cognitive domains and discourse production as well as to investigate longitudinal changes to discourse production during stroke recovery.SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL: https://doi.org/10.23641/asha.20778541.PMID:36075208 | DOI:10.104...
