État de l'art sur les applications dédiées à la rééducation de personnes aphasiques

Abstract

Aphasia is a language disorder that often occurs following a stroke. The objective of our study is to give an overview of the use of desktop technologies, oriented towards augmented, mixed or virtual reality. An exploratory search of medical and computer article databases (Google Scholar, ResearchGate, Taylor and Francis, PubMed and ACM digital library) found 1728 articles on the subject. A multi-criteria selection method identified 44 relevant articles. Based on these articles, this paper presents the interaction techniques used for rehabilitation. It also presents the methods used with a description of the user tests carried out: protocol, participants and results. Our study shows that the use of computer programs can help rehabilitate aphasic people. But little research has been done on the use of innovative technologies based on augmented, mixed or virtual reality. We conclude with recommendations and suggestions to further the research in this subject.
