“…121 A later study on limb apraxia and aphasia came to the same conclusion, underlining the fact that the very coexistence of apraxia and aphasia "may have a direct impact on efforts towards patients' rehabilitation." 87 To date, a problem plaguing the modeling of poststroke recovery is finding evidence of neural repair to correlate with functional recovery. One promising area of current investigation lies in the application of EEG recordings focused on firing coherence.…”

“…A study on limb apraxia and aphasia came to the conclusion that there are numerous ways in which apraxia and aphasia are linked, while also acknowledging that there are distinct and nonoverlapping aspects to these conditions too. The authors sought to underline the fact that the very coexistence of apraxia and aphasia “may have a direct impact on efforts towards patients’ rehabilitation.” 87…”

“…Their model, based on sharing of sensory-motor integration, symbolic representation and anatomical overlapping of the 2 systems, unifies the characteristics shared by apraxia and aphasia while also acknowledging that there are distinct and nonoverlapping aspects to these conditions. 121 A later study on limb apraxia and aphasia came to the same conclusion, underlining the fact that the very coexistence of apraxia and aphasia “may have a direct impact on efforts towards patients’ rehabilitation.” 87…”

“…The authors sought to underline the fact that the very coexistence of apraxia and aphasia "may have a direct impact on efforts towards patients' rehabilitation." 87 Based in part on these studies, researchers have been trying to understand the possible relationship between syntax, space (the spatial position of a word in a sentence and syntax reflect the real-world ordering of events with subjectverb-object or subject-object-verb order accounting for 90% of world's languages) and upper limb usage during a task involving language skills, with results suggesting that the control of language, space and upper limb movement represent three distinct yet intertwined systems. 88 Crinion and Leff's literature review on recovery of stroke aphasia aimed to clarify numerous issues relating to post-stroke recovery and the impact of therapy.…”

Stroke is the third leading cause of death in the developed world and the primary cause of adult disability. The most common site of stroke is the middle cerebral artery (MCA), an artery that supplies a range of areas involved in both language and motor function. As a consequence, many stroke patients experience a combination of language and motor deficits. Indeed, those suffering from Broca's aphasia have an 80% chance of also suffering hemiplegia. Despite the prevalence of multifaceted disability in patients, the current trend in both clinical trials and clinical practice is toward compartmentalization of dysfunction. In this article, we review evidence that aphasia and hemiplegia do not just coexist, but that they interact. We review a number of clinical reports describing how therapies for one type of deficit can improve recovery in the other and vice versa. We go on to describe how language deficits should be seen as a warning to clinicians that the patient is likely to experience motor impairment and slower motor recovery, aiding clinicians to optimize their choice of therapy. We explore these findings and offer a tentative link between language and arm function through their shared need for sequential action, which we term fluency. We propose that area BA44 (part of Broca's area) acts as a hub for fluency in both movement and language, both in terms of production and comprehension.

Background Stroke affects all aspects of communication of patients by causing disorders of motor control (dysarthria or apraxia) or language (dysphasia) or both. The aim of this study is to evaluate language skills in patients post-stroke presented with comorbidity with different types of apraxia. Methods An analytical cross-sectional study was carried out, and a number of 58 stroke adults with comorbid apraxic manifestations of various types were included after assessing them using the protocol of motor programming skills that was extracted from thesis titled “Assessment protocol of motor programming skills after cerebrovascular insults” from October 2016 to July 2018. They were subjected to the interview and personal history taking, and a modified comprehensive aphasia test to determine their language profile. Results Patients with verbal apraxia showed difficulty with tasks tapping verbal fluency, repetition, and picture description. The language deficits in ideational apraxia patients included cognition tasks, verbal fluency, sentence comprehension, and naming. Constructional apraxia patients showed language deficits in word comprehension, complex word repetition, and naming. Limb apraxia showed greater deficits on tasks tapping working memory and processing speed while buccofacial apraxia was accompanied by fewer language deficits in reading and repeating complex words. Conclusion Heterogeneous language profile was found in different types of apraxia.
