Recovery after a stroke takes time and usually requirespost-stroke rehabilitation therapy, which helps in regaining physical and cognitive abilities after a stroke.
A recent study by our group revealed a strong relationship between functional brain changes in the left hemisphere and anomia treatment outcome in chronic stroke patients (N = 26) with aphasia (Fridriksson, 2010). The current research represents a continuation of this work in which we have ...
sentences in a pseudorandom order, whereas none of the consecutive trials contained the same [wh-interrogative]. None of the patients were informed that they would be asked questions with different types of word orders. We defined the response time as the period between the sentence offset (i....
There was a slow recovery of these deficits and she was considered as having normal language only at age 7. Although it is difficult to be sure about the hand preference of the patient before the stroke at age 2, the relatives were quite positive saying, that she previously preferred the ...
Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) using intensities ≤ 2 mA on physical and cognitive outcomes has been extensively investigated. Studies comparing the effects of different intensities of tDCS have yielded mixed results and little is known about how higher intensities (> 2 mA) affect...
At the time of her initial assessment 15 months after her stroke, she had reached a plateau in her recovery despite intense and long-term traditional speech-language therapy (approximately five times per week for more than one year). Following an intensive course of treatment with our adapted ...
Lexical retrieval deficits are common and persistent following left hemisphere stroke, but the anatomical factors predicting recovery and compensatory mechanisms remain unclear. In addition to age-related changes in the efficiency of lexical retrieval, naming is frequently impaired in aphasia following a ...
(1) Background: To investigate the correlation between the integrity of the left dual-stream frontotemporal network mediated by the arcuate fasciculus (AF) and uncinate fasciculus (UF), and acute/subacute post-stroke aphasia (PSA). (2) Methods: Thirty-six patients were recruited and received bot...
3.1. Types of Ischemic Stroke, Comorbidities and Neuroimaging Parameters At the time of the study, the status of all patients who received standard treatment was stable. No hemodynamic or respiratory disorders were detected. Based on the clinical presentation and the results of instrumental examinations...
