Aphasia severity is modulated by race and lesion size in chronic survivors: A retrospective study
CONCLUSION: We suggest two explanations for the difference between Black and White SWA in the relationship between lesion size and aphasia severity. First, the impact of disparities in access to rehabilitation after stroke may be more evident when a stroke is larger and causes significant aphasia. Additionally, an assessment bias in aphasia outcome measures may be more evident with increasing severity of aphasia. Future studies should further discern the drivers of observed disparities in aphasia outcomes in order to identify opportunities to improve equity in aphasia care.PMID:36215784 | DOI:10.1016/j.jcomdis.2022.106270

People with aphasia and their family members proposing joint future activities in everyday conversations: A conversation analytic study
CONCLUSIONS & IMPLICATIONS: Mild aphasia appears not to impede PWAs' ability to participate in the planning of joint future activities, whereas severe aphasia is a potential limitation. To address this possible participatory barrier, we discuss clinical implications for both therapist-led aphasia treatment and conversation partner training.WHAT THIS PAPER ADDS: What is already known on the subject PWAs use multimodal resources to compensate for their language impairment in everyday conversations. However, certain social actions, such as proposing a joint future activity, cannot ordinarily be accomplished without language. ...

Adaptation of melodic intonation therapy to a tone language: A pilot study of tone-rhythmic therapy in Chinese
This study developed a Chinese-specific variant of melodic intonation therapy, i.e., Tone-rhythmic therapy (TRT), and tested its efficacy in individuals with non-fluent aphasia. Methods: Six non-fluent aphasic patients were recruited; all of them were admitted to the study over six months after stroke and had received a standard program of language therapy. In the current research, tone and rhythmic training were incorporated into the training procedures, and the adaptation was then examined in patients. The TRT treatment lasted six weeks, with five fifty-minute sessions per week. The Boston Diagnostic Aphasia Examination ...

Associations among depression, demographic variables, and language impairments in chronic post-stroke aphasia
CONCLUSIONS: The rate of depressive disorders in this sample was higher than rates of depression reported in the general stroke literature. Participant sex, age, and naming ability emerged as factors associated with depressive symptoms, though these links appear complex, especially given variable reports from prior research. Importantly, depressive symptoms do not appear to diminish over time for individuals with chronic aphasia. Given these results and the relatively limited documentation of depression in aphasia literature, depression remains a pressing concern for aphasia research and routine clinical care.PMID:36150239...
