Executive Functions Training Improves Language Abilities in Aphasia Rehabilitation: A Systematic Review

Journal of Personalized Medicine, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 15(3), P. 92 - 92

Published: Feb. 27, 2025

Background/Objectives: In recent years, the popularity of non-verbal cognitive training for aphasia has increased. Building on evidence that language abilities engage brain areas involved in executive functions (EFs) processing, this review aims to analyze utility EFs alone or combined with traditional rehabilitation approaches improve aphasia. Methods: Systematic searches were performed four databases evaluating studies focusing effects rehabilitation, yielding 185 studies. After reading full text selected and applying predefined inclusion criteria, nine included based pertinence relevance topic. This systematic been registered Prospective Register Reviews (PROSPERO 2024) number CRD42024519087. Results: The results analyzed indicate various methods, such as computer-assisted control training, Cognitive Flexibility Aphasia Therapy (CFAT), Dr. Neuronowski® program, well combination transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) can lead improvements people Additionally, often specific treated like working memory (near transfer effects) untreated ones spoken sentence comprehension (far effects). Conclusions: Despite heterogeneity treatments small simple size analyzed, preliminary are promising. Future research should further explore effectiveness contribution improving

Evidence from aphasia suggests a bidirectional relationship between inner speech and executive function

Published: June 7, 2024

Research over the past several decades has revealed that non-linguistic cognitive impairments can appear alongside language deficits in individuals with aphasia. One vulnerable domain is executive function, an umbrella term for higher-level processes allow us to direct our behavior towards a goal. Studies healthy adults reveal function abilities are supported by inner speech, ability use silently one’s head. Therefore, speech may mediate connection between and aphasia.Here, we investigated whether links 59 chronic, post-stroke We used two approaches measure speech: one based on internal retrieval of words plus silent manipulation retrieved phonological forms. Then, examined relationships these measuring five aspects ability: response inhibition, conflict monitoring/resolution, general task-switching ability, control, semantic control. also looked dissociations ability.Our results show tentative all study. The most consistent were found measures require both representations (e.g., picture-pair rhyme judgment). evidence double dissociation: many participants intact despite poor vice versa, so neither process strictly reliant other. suggest this work provides preliminary bidirectional relationship function: supports some via self-cueing certain support performance complex tasks.

Multifactorial interplay on language recovery following left‐hemispheric stroke: A retrospective study

Journal of Neuropsychology, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: Dec. 23, 2024

Abstract Understanding the relative contribution of various factors influencing initial severity aphasia and recovery after a stroke is essential for optimising neurorehabilitation programmes. We investigated how significant sociodemographic, cognitive, clinical, stroke‐related rehabilitation‐related modulate language following left‐hemispheric stroke. Employing an innovative method, we conducted retrospective analysis 96 participants to explore combined impact these factors. The was categorised into severe, mild/moderate no based on their deficits in subacute phase (Aphasia Severity Rating Scale, ASRS). To assess speech‐and‐language recovery, classified 53/96 patients with high poor categories using gain score formula (ASRS_discharge—ASRS_admission)/ASRS_admission. Subsequently, performed statistical analyses (univariate forward stepwise logistic regression bootstrap) identify determinants degree recovery. Our unveiled that more severe initially correlated (Odds Ratio, OR = .90, p .041), moderate/severe executive dysfunction (OR .068, < .001) larger lesion size .001). Furthermore, associated intensity therapy 1.47, .043). These findings enrich our understanding employing original methodology scrutinise collective effect multiple variables participants. A better knowledge may help implement personalised rehabilitation programmes maximise
