“…Stroke affects 15 million people worldwide and approximately 800,000 people in the United States, with an estimated one third (35%) of stroke survivors left with aphasia in the chronic stage (2). Furthermore, post-stroke aphasia significantly negatively impacts quality of life (3, 4) and has a greater negative effect than other common diseases such as cancer, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease (5). It is therefore important that research advances our understanding of ways to alleviate the social isolation and lack of autonomy in individuals with aphasia.…”

Neuroplasticity of Language Networks in Aphasia: Advances, Updates, and Future Challenges

Researchers have sought to understand how language is processed in the brain, how brain damage affects language abilities, and what can be expected during the recovery period since the early 19th century. In this review, we first discuss mechanisms of damage and plasticity in the post-stroke brain, both in the acute and the chronic phase of recovery. We then review factors that are associated with recovery. First, we review organism intrinsic variables such as age, lesion volume and location and structural integrity that influence language recovery. Next, we review organism extrinsic factors such as treatment that influence language recovery. Here, we discuss recent advances in our understanding of language recovery and highlight recent work that emphasizes a network perspective of language recovery. Finally, we propose our interpretation of the principles of neuroplasticity, originally proposed by Kleim and Jones ( 1 ) in the context of extant literature in aphasia recovery and rehabilitation. Ultimately, we encourage researchers to propose sophisticated intervention studies that bring us closer to the goal of providing precision treatment for patients with aphasia and a better understanding of the neural mechanisms that underlie successful neuroplasticity.

“…Aphasia, the acquired language disorder, is a common functional impairment after stroke. Approximately 40–60% of stroke survivors sustain aphasia at chronic stage [ 1 ], which is associated with their life dependence, less social participation, poorer rehabilitation outcomes and worsen quality of life [ 2 – 5 ]. Most conventional interventions for aphasia, such as pharmacological managements and rehabilitation programs (e.g.…”

BackgroundConstraint-induced aphasia therapy (CIAT) has been widely used in post-stroke aphasia rehabilitation. An increasing number of clinical controlled trials have investigated the efficacy of the CIAT for the post-stroke aphasia.PurposeTo systematically review the randomized controlled trials (RCTs) concerning the effect of the CIAT in post-stroke patients with aphasia, and to identify the useful components of CIAT in post-stroke aphasia rehabilitation.MethodsA computerized database search was performed through five databases (Pubmed, EMbase, Medline, ScienceDirect and Cochrane library). Cochrane handbook domains were used to evaluate the methodological quality of the included RCTs.ResultsEight RCTs qualified in the inclusion criteria. Inconsistent results were found in comparing the CIAT with conventional therapies without any component from the CIAT based on the results of three RCTs. Five RCTs showed that the CIAT performed equally well as other intensive aphasia therapies, in terms of improving language performance. One RCT showed that therapies embedded with social interaction were likely to enhance the efficacy of the CIAT.ConclusionCIAT may be useful for improving chronic post-stroke aphasia, however, limited evidence to support its superiority to other aphasia therapies. Massed practice is likely to be a useful component of CIAT, while the role of “constraint” is needed to be further explored. CIAT embedded with social interaction may gain more benefits.

“…According to Kiran and Thompson (2019) "stroke affects 15 million people worldwide" (Page 1), and according to Berthier (2005), "Aphasia is present in 21-38% of acute stroke patients and is associated with high short-and long-term morbidity, mortality and expenditure" (Page 163). Clearly, aphasia has a negative impact on stroke survivors' quality of life (Koleck et al 2017;Flowers et al 2016) and it increases their vulnerability to other diseases (e.g., cancer, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease) (Lam and Wodchis 2010). Brain networks supporting language are described in the literature as complex, spatially distributed, segregated interconnected, parallel, redundant, dynamic and bidirectional.…”

Quality of life in aphasic patients 1 year after a first stroke

Abstract: Results and their practical relevance in treatment were discussed. Predicting as soon as possible which factors would be related to late QoL in stroke patients with aphasia is of major importance.
