This book was released on 2020 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Melodic intonation therapy (MIT) is a structured aphasia treatment program that uses the musical elements of language to improve expressive language and language production in individuals with Broca's aphasia. Aphasia is a neurogenic disorder caused by damage to the regions of the brain responsible for language, typically the left half of the brain. It is usually seen in individuals who have experienced strokes. Apraxia of speech (AOS), which often co-occurs with Broca's aphasia, is a speech disorder in which an individual has difficulty producing correct and consistent speech. This study aimed to evaluate MIT's effectiveness in improving speech intelligibility in individuals with AOS. Due to AOS being a key characteristic in Broca's aphasia, MIT may be considered a vital treatment technique for individuals with AOS. Two participants with post-stroke aphasia underwent one-hour treatment sessions for 20 days, in a multiple baseline single-subject design. The PI assessed increases in word length, hesitancy (difficulty initiating utterances), articulatory precision, and the number of syllables correctly produced after each session. Results showed that MIT improved articulatory precision, syllable production, and word length. No significant change was measured with hesitancy. Results suggest that MIT could be effective for improving speech intelligibility in individuals with AOS.

It covers the substrates of motor speech and its disorders, the disorders and their diagnoses, and management -- focusing on integrating what is known about the bases of motor speech disorders with the realities of clinical practice to ensure readers have the key content they need to be effective practitioners. Three-part organization first covers the neurologic underpinnings of speech, then the various disorders resulting from problems in the nervous system, and then the basic principles and disorder-specific management strategies. Emphasis on evidence-based practice helps distill disparate information and stresses the best practices within motor speech disorders. Cutting-edge research ensures this book contains the most comprehensive and up-to-date look at the state of motor speech disorders. Case studies help clarify dense and difficult content and help hone your critical thinking skills. Summary tables and boxes offer easy access to important information such as causes and characteristics to aid in differential diagnosis. Chapter outline and summary sections keep you focused on the most significant information. NEW! Accompanying Evolve site features an interactive PowerPoint presentation with more than 60 audio and video clips demonstrating various disorders. NEW! Updated content incorporates Dr. Duffy’s findings from nearly 1,000 new articles on motor speech disorders. UNIQUE! Two-color design and larger trim size help highlight key information and allow for easier lay-flat reading.

Download or read book The Clinical Science of Neurologic Rehabilitation written by Bruce H. Dobkin and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2003-01-16 with total page 616 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Second Edition of this single-authored volume integrates multiple disciplines of basic and clinical research to help clinicians further develop the best possible care for the rehabilitation of patients with neurologic diseases. From the readable descriptions of the structures and functions of pathways for movement and cognition, the reader comes to understand the potential for training induced, pharmacologic, and near-future biologic interventions to enhance recovery. Dr. Dobkin shows how functional neuroimaging serves as a marker for whether physical, cognitive, and neuromodulating therapies work and how they sculpt the plasticity of the brain. Themes, such as how the manipulation of sensory experience can serve as a formidable tool for rehabilitation, run throughout the text, built from the level of the synapse to behaviors such as grasping, walking, and thinking. From illustrating how we may one day repair the brain and spinal cord to how to retrain spared and new pathways, Dr. Dobkin draws insights from a broad swath of fundamental research to give clinicians tools they can translate into bedside practices. The book treats the medical complications and therapeutic approaches to neurologic diseases as an interconnected matrix. The management of common medical issues, impairments, and disabilities are described across diseases. Special problems posed by patients with stroke, myelopathies, brain injury, multiple sclerosis, degenerative diseases, and motor unit disorders receive individual comment. Short-term and delayed pulse interventions for patients, along with clinical trials, are dissected and put into perspective. The First Edition of this book was titled Neurologic Rehabilitation. The title has been changed to reflect Dr. Dobkin's sense that fundamental research now drives the field of neurologic rehabilitation even more than it could in 1996 when the First Edition was published. The Second Edition features entirely new chapters on functional neuroimaging of recovery; neurostimulators and neuroprosteses; integration into the book of many new clinical and neuroscientific observations relevant to the clinician; and extensive updating and expansion of all chapters. Readers, whether clinicians serving the rehabilitation team, or students or researchers in neuroscience, neurology, physical medicine, allied health, or bioengineering, will acquire new insights and tools for creative pursuits that aim to lessen the disabilities of patients.

Download or read book Enhancing Melodic Intonation Therapy with Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation for People with Chronic Broca s Aphasia a Proposed Study written by and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 37 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The neural mechanisms underlying the success of Melodic Intonation Therapy (MIT) are heavily debated. Several studies report that MIT increases language production by recruiting the right Broca's homolog through speaking in a sing-song tune, while others find that MIT promotes greater left-hemisphere activation. Stage in recovery (subacute vs. chronic) has been reported to influence the lateralization of language processing. Understanding which areas are responsible for language recovery during therapy is crucial when attempting to enhance the therapy by electrically stimulating specific neural regions. This research proposal investigates whether applying transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) to the left hemisphere, as opposed to the right hemisphere, will greater enhance MIT among people with chronic Broca's aphasia. One group will receive tDCS on the right side of the brain, one will receive tDCS on the left side of the brain, and a control group receiving sham tDCS, all while undergoing MIT. Various language tasks and resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging will assess the impacts of tDCS combined with MIT on language production and neural activation.
