Portions of an act may be completed in an improper sequence. The individual may strike a match, for example, to light a campfire but then will hold the match until it burns his fingers. This type of apraxia is usually caused by a lesion of the cerebral cortex. Ideokinetic apraxia is ...
Using both a conversation analytic approach and quantification, we analyzed video-recorded speech therapy interactions between therapists and adolescent patients in French-speaking Switzerland. We show that adolescents initiate more laughs than therapists overall, but that this pattern is even stronger in ...
This perspective article explores the challenges and potential of using speech as a biomarker in clinical settings, particularly when constrained by the small clinical datasets typically available in such contexts. We contend that by integrating insights
People with mixed episode bipolar disorder—where manic highs occur simultaneously or in rapid sequence with depressive lows—may require more intensive treatment. Mood stabilizers and/or antipsychotic medications are often prescribed. Temporary hospitalization may be necessary if a person is at risk for ...
The objective of the current work is to therefore examine the effect of dose frequency (i.e., frequency of therapy sessions) on treatment outcomes in Dynamic Temporal and Tactile Cueing (DTTC; [9]), one of the few evidence-based motor-based treatment approaches for CAS [6, 7]. Dynamic ...
Three classifiers: a convolutional neural network (CNN), a long-short term memory recurrent neural network (LSTM-RNN), and a CNN-LSTM were trained, taking sentences as sequences of pre-trained word embedding. In addition to AD diagnosis, the authors interpret the models using activation ...
The goal was to investigate the experiences of these transgender women about the sessions, their communication and their well-being. Four main themes emerged from the semi-structured face-to-face interviews: communication, therapy experiences, impact on mental health, and external factors associated ...
Nonetheless, there are still challenges related to automatic speech recognition (ASR) that must be solved worldwide in order to extend these therapy applications, since they basically depend on adequate engines that should properly recognize aphasic speech. ASR systems are usually trained with the voi...
