Rehabilitation of aphasia: more is better

Top Stroke Rehabil. 2003 Summer;10(2):66-76. doi: 10.1310/RCM8-5TUL-NC5D-BX58.

Abstract

Although the most effective means of treating aphasia post stroke has not been determined, several areas of aphasia therapy have proven to be more effective than others. A recent study had determined that intense aphasia therapy over a short period of time has greater impact on recovery than less intense therapy over a longer period of time. Building upon the idea that more is better, this article examines other spects of aphasia therapy that may be combined to facilitate recovery.
