Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

As aphasia is one of the most common and disabling disorders following stroke, in many cases resolving in long-term deficits, it is now thought that intensive aphasia therapy is effective, even in the chronic phase following stroke. However, as intensive aphasia rehabilitation is difficult to achieve in clinical practice, tablet-based aphasia therapies are explored to further facilitate language recovery. Although there is mounting evidence that computer-based treatments are effective, it is also important to assess the feasibility, usability and acceptability of these technologies, especially in the acute phase post stroke. The investigators assume that tablet-based aphasia therapy is a feasible treatment option for patients with aphasia in the acute phase following stroke. The researchers also believe that the specific app that will be used in therapy is user-friendly and that it will be well accepted by this specific patient population.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The study is a prospective study, with each participant undergoing testing approximately within three days after inclusion in the study (immediately prior to tablet-based aphasia therapy). Based on the results of diagnostic testing (standard of care in the acute phase), therapy will be tailored for each individual. After two short training sessions, patients will independently practice with the app during hospitalisation, guided by a user-friendly instruction sheet. Patients will be encouraged to practice as much as possible, with a minimum of 30 minutes per day. Exercises will be selected by the speech-language therapist based on diagnostic results and will be adjusted for difficulty and type of exercise during treatment based on performance rates. the aim of the study is to investigate the feasibility, usability and acceptability of a tablet-based aphasia therapy in patients with aphasia in the acute phase following stroke.
