Word Repetition Paired With Startling Stimuli Decreases Aphasia and Apraxia Severity in Severe-to-Moderate Stroke: A Stratified, Single-Blind, Randomized, Phase 1 Clinical Trial
CONCLUSIONS: This study is the first to evaluate the impact of training with startling acoustic stimuli on clinical measures of aphasia and AOS. Our findings suggest START can enhance both nontrained speech production and receptive speech tasks in moderate/severe aphasia, possibly by reducing poststroke cortical inhibition. Our findings should be considered carefully, as our limitations include small effect sizes, within-group variability, and low completion rates for quality-of-life assessments and follow-up visits. Future studies should explore a mechanism of action, conduct larger and longer Phase 2 clinical trials, and...

Normative Values for Word Syllable Duration With Interpretation in a Large Sample of Stroke Survivors With Aphasia
CONCLUSIONS: We recommend using a rounded WSD cutoff score between 303 and 316 ms for manual measures. Future research will focus on customizing automated WSD methods to speech samples from people with aphasia, identifying target words that maximize production and measurement reliability, and developing WSD standard scores based on a large participant sample with and without aphasia.PMID:37595782 | DOI:10.1044/2023_AJSLP-22-00300

Barriers to Informational Support for Care Partners of People With Aphasia After Stroke
CONCLUSION: The results suggest that changes are needed at both systemic and care provider levels to ensure that tailored information is provided to care partners of people with aphasia.PMID:37566895 | DOI:10.1044/2023_AJSLP-22-00391

The Feasibility and Benefits of a Virtual Yoga Practice for Stroke Survivors With Aphasia
CONCLUSIONS: This study is an important first step in confirming the feasibility of an adapted, aphasia-friendly yoga program offered via a remote platform for people with aphasia. The findings support recent work suggesting that yoga may be a potent adjunct to traditional rehabilitation efforts to improve resilience and psychosocial aspects in persons with aphasia.SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL: https://doi.org/10.23641/asha.22688125.PMID:37130156 | DOI:10.1044/2023_AJSLP-22-00269

Effectiveness of Constraint-Induced Language Therapy for Aphasia: Evidence From Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses
CONCLUSIONS: CILT led to improvements in a variety of language and communication measures. When compared with intensive multimodality treatments, CILT effects were similar, suggesting that training intensity may be the potent factor in CILT outcomes. Future SRs should be implemented with increased rigor across quality rating scale domains to increase confidence in conclusions.PMID:36668725 | DOI:10.1044/2022_AJSLP-22-00248
