Behaviorally-Oriented Intensive Aphasia Program: Collaboration Leads to Optimal Outcomes
Semin Speech Lang. 2022 Sep 12. doi: 10.1055/s-0042-1756272. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAphasia is an acquired disorder affecting all language components across modalities. While common therapeutic approaches can result in some improvements, multiple studies establish that intensive therapeutic interventions are most effective; however, these approaches are not well defined. In addition, behaviorally-oriented approaches have been shown to be effective for other conditions, but have not yet been introduced to the treatment of aphasia. The purpose of the current study was to examine the efficacy of a novel, behaviorally-o...

Biofeedback as an Adjunctive Treatment for Post-stroke Dysphagia: A Pilot-Randomized Controlled Trial
ConclusionsThe application of biofeedback based on sEMG in post-stroke dysphagia patients resulted in an effective rehabilitative technique, in particular for pharyngeal clearance improvements and safe swallowing, thus reducing the risk of aspiration and malnutrition.

Structural Connectivity Affecting Aspiration After Stroke
In this study, we investigated brain structural connectivity associated with aspiration after unilateral supratentorial stroke. Patients on oral feeding after stroke were divided into liquid aspiration (22 patients) and normal (18 patients) groups based on videofluoroscopic swallowing studies. Voxel-based lesion –symptom mapping and voxel-wise group comparison of fractional anisotropy, mode of anisotropy, and mean diffusivity maps were conducted. Voxel-based lesion–symptom mapping revealed no significant lesion differences between groups. The aspiration group showed significantly increased fractional an isotropy and mo...

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...

The Impact of Periventricular Leukoaraiosis in Post-stroke Oropharyngeal Dysphagia: A Swallowing Biomechanics and MRI-Based Study
AbstractOropharyngeal dysphagia is a highly prevalent post-stroke complication commonly associated with topographically specific gray-matter damage. In contrast, the role of damage to the extensive white matter brain network (leukoaraiosis) in post-stroke oropharyngeal dysphagia has not yet been clarified. We aim to assess the role of leukoaraiosis in post-stroke oropharyngeal dysphagia. We designed a cross-sectional study and retrospectively collected from our database patients with dysphagia affected by a recent stroke and on whom both a brain 1.5  T-MRI and a videofluoroscopy had been performed. Leukoaraiosis was asses...

The Effects of Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation on Swallowing Functions in Post-stroke Dysphagia: A Randomized Controlled Trial
In conclusion, TDT is a no n-invasive and inexpensive method that leads to improvement in many swallowing-related features in stroke patients; however, NMES as an adjunct therapy is costly but can provide additional benefits for improving features, such as penetration–aspiration and residue levels.

Dosages of Swallowing Exercises Prescribed in Stroke Rehabilitation: A Medical Record Audit
This study investigated how swallowing exercise dosage is recorded, and what swallowing exercise dosages are reported in a stroke rehabilitation setting. We additionally explored the relation between mean daily swallowing repetitions and likelihood of improvement in functional swallowing status and considered how swallowing exercise dosages in practice compared to evidence-based principles of neural plasticity and strength training. We audited medical records for 42 patients with post-stroke dysphagia admitted to an inpatient rehabilitation unit over 18  months. Data were collected on participant characteristics, swallowi...
