Background: Practice-based evidence can inform and support clinical decision making. Case-report series about the implementation of programs in real-world clinical settings may contribute to verifying the effectiveness of interventions for treating PPA in specific contexts, as well as illustrating challenges that need to be overcome. Objective: To describe and provide practice-based evidence on the effectiveness of four cognitive rehabilitation programs designed for individuals with PPA and directed to speech and language impairments, which were implemented in a specialized outpatient clinic. Methods: Multiple single-case study. Eighteen individuals with different subtypes of PPA were each assigned to one out of four training programs based on comprehensive speech and language assessments. The treatments targeted naming deficits, sentence production, speech apraxia, and phonological deficits. Pre- and post-treatment assessments were undertaken to compare trained and untrained items. Gains were generalized to a different task in the first two types of intervention (naming and sentence production). A follow-up assessment was conducted 1–8 months after treatment among 7 participants. Results: All individuals presented better performance in the trained items at the post-test for each rehabilitation program accomplished, demonstrating that learning of the trained strategies was achieved during the active phase of treatment. For 13 individuals, statistical significance was reached; while for five, the results were maintained. Results about untrained items, generalization to other tasks, and follow-up assessments are presented. Conclusion: The positive results found in our sample bring some practice-based evidence for the benefits of speech and language treatment strategies for clinical management of individuals with PPA.

Sentence Comprehension in Primary Progressive Aphasia: A Study of the Application of the Brazilian Version of the Test for the Reception of Grammar (TROG2-Br)

Sentence-comprehension deficits have been described in patients with primary progressive aphasia (PPA). However, most instruments to address this domain in more detail and in a clinical context have not been adapted and translated into several languages, posing limitations to clinical practice and cross-language research.ObjectivesThe study aimed to (1) test the applicability of the Brazilian version of the Test for Reception of Grammar (TROG2-Br) to detect morphosyntactic deficits in patients with PPA; (2) investigate the association between performance in the test and sociodemographic and clinical variables (age, years of formal education, and disease duration); (3) characterize the performance of individuals presenting with the three more common variants of PPA (non-fluent, semantic, and logopenic) and mixed PPA (PPA-Mx) and analyze whether TROG-2 may assist in the distinction of these clinical profiles.MethodsA total of 74 cognitively healthy participants and 34 individuals diagnosed with PPA were assessed with TROG2-Br. Overall scores (correct items, passed blocks), types, and categories of errors were analyzed.ResultsIn controls, block scores were significantly correlated with years of formal education (Spearman's r = 0.33, p = 004) but not with age. In PPA, age, education, and disease duration were not significantly associated with performance in the test. Controls presented a significantly higher performance on TROG2-Br compared to PPA individuals and their errors pattern pointed to mild general cognitive processing difficulties (attention, working memory). PPA error types pointed to processing and morphosyntactic deficits in nonfluent or agrammatic PPA, (PPA-NF/A), logopenic PPA (PPA-L), and PPA-Mx. The semantic PPA (PPA-S) subgroup was qualitatively more similar to controls (processing difficulties and lower percentage of morphosyntactic errors). TROG2-Br presented good internal consistency and concurrent validity.DiscussionOur results corroborate findings with TROG-2 in other populations. The performance of typical older adults with heterogeneous levels of education is discussed along with recommendations for clinical use of the test and future directions of research.

“…A version of this task was created to assess reading (Rodrigues and Salles, manuscript submitted). In initial phases of research, instruments are available focusing on the assessment of semantic memory, such as the Cambridge semantic memory battery 65 used in patients with Primary Progressive Aphasia in Brazil 66 and the tests of semantic association Pyramids and Palm Trees, and Kissing and Dancing 67 instruments, have been investigated as relevant tools for the diagnosis of neurodegenerative syndromes such as primary progressive aphasia, particularly the semantic variant. 68 , 69 …”

The objective of this paper was to describe the evolution of language assessments in patients with acquired neurological diseases over a period of around 45 years from 1970, when interdisciplinarity in Neuropsychology first began in Brazil, to the present day. The first twenty years of data was based on memories of Speech Pathology University Professors who were in charge of teaching aphasia. We then show the contributions of Linguistics, Cognitive Psychology, as well as Psycholinguistic and Psychometric criteria, to language evaluation. Finally, the current panorama of adaptations and creations of validated and standardized instruments is given, based on a search of the databases Pubmed, Scopus and Lilacs. Our closing remarks highlight the diversity in evaluation approaches and the recent tendency of language evaluations linked to new technologies such as brain imaging and computational analysis.
