Name the Aphasia
This aphasia is characterized by:
a. Often associated with speech apraxia
b. Severe agrammatic language
c. Mild to mod AC problems
d. Mild severe repetition
e. Mild severe naming
f. Lesion in 44/45
What is Broca's Aphasia
What assessment does WAB stand for?
What is the Western Aphasia Battery
This is the strongest predictor of recovery in a CVA.
Etiology of a stroke
This type of treatment approach aims to stimulate and improve cognitive and linguistic processes. Example is Schuell's treatment. Should implement errorless learning. Takes more time than product approach. Appears less functional than product approach. Improvements may generalize to other tasks.
What is process-oriented
This type of cue is likely to be more helpful for word retrievel during aphasia therapy.
What is phonological
This aphasia is characterized by:
- Severe deficits in all language domains
What is global aphasia
What assessment does BDAE stand for?
Boston Diagnostic Aphasia Examination
This type of stroke has the poorest prognosis for recovery.
What is hemorrhagic stroke
This approach to treatment aims to improve performance of specific abilities/functional skills of daily living. Does not focus on overall process of skill. Takes less time than processed approach. Appears more functional than process approach. Improvements may not generalize to other tasks.
What is product-oriented
These are characteristics/guidelines to THIS treatment approach:
In the CILT therapy program, how are treatment tasks identified?
Functionally relevant words
What are CILT guidelines for organizing an aphasia treatment session?
- Like PACE; back and forth communication conversation
- Make sure they are using their hardest modality to communicate
- Responses are shaped and reinforced
- Tx delivered on a massed practiced schedule- 10 days of tx for 3 hours a day
CILT - Constraint Induced Language Therapy
This aphasia is characterized by:
a. like a mild Wernicke’s with poor repetition
b. normal to paraphasic spontaneous language
c. mild mod comp
d. severely impaired rep
e. mild severe naming
What is conduction aphasia
What assessment does PICA stand for?
What is Porch Index of Communicative Ability
Aphasia recovery presents in this manner.
What is a decelerating incline; or slowing incline
These are general areas of treatment for nonfluent aphasias.
What is
- Elaboration of verbal and written responses.
- Produce complete syntactic structures.
- Comprehension of increasing complex of syntactic structures
- Improve word finding skills
These are the weaknesses to the WAB-R.
What are
Only applicable to English speaking adults and teens. Can be very long
This aphasia is characterized by:
a. Similar to Wernicke’s aphasia but with good repetition
b. Paragrammatic with excessive paraphasias and extreme lack of nouns
c. severe AC
d. preserved repetition
e. mod severe naming
f. lesion in posterior portion of the middle temporal gyrus extending into visual area and auditory associative cortex and occasionally into angular gyrus.
What is transcortical sensory aphasia
What assessment does MTDDA stand for?
What is Minnesota Test for the Differential Diagnosis of Aphasia
This is the difference in recovery between a hemorrhagic and non-hemorrhagic stroke.
What is
Hemorrhagic: Patient recovers but plateaus around 6 month post onset
Non-hemorrhagic: Patient continues recovering after 6 months post onset
What is MIT
These are other neurogenic communication disorders that may frequently accompany aphasia in a patient who has sustained a left hemisphere CVA.
What are apraxia and/or dysarthrias
This aphasia is characterized by:
a. Severely reduced spontaneous language and agrammatism
b. mild-moderate AC problems
c. Well preserved repetition
d. Mid-severe naming
e. Lesion is superior to, anterior to, or deep within Broca’s
f. Similar to Broca’s but with good repetition
What is transcortical motor aphasia
These following areas are tested in this assessment:
Auditory comprehension, simple task for verbal expression, simple reading task for comprehension, and writing.
What is the BDAE
This is a biological, natural recovery after a stroke or other event.
What is spontaneous recovery
The type of treatment - RET - stands for this.
What is Response Elaboration Therapy
This is the difference between an thrombus and an embolus.
What is
Thrombus: Clot builds up in one place over a period of time. Clot blocks blood which blocks oxygen and glucose and results in a thrombolic stroke
Embolus: A clot builds up in one place but then travels and blocks an artery which causes blood flow to stop and block oxygen and glucose and results in an embolic stroke.
*Thrombo-embolic stroke: embolus caused stroke but unsure of how/where embolus came from
