Detailed Description

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

Speech therapy makes an integral part of the non-pharmacological, conservative management of Post stroke aphasia. Routine speech therapy aims to improve comprehension and verbal skills and also develop functional communication skills through augmentative Alternative communication devices. Disorders of communication, including aphasia (mainly post stroke) caused by the left hemisphere brain damage, is a major community health issue. Aphasia is a language disorder occurring mainly as a result of stroke. It is an acquired impairment of language that weakens people's ability of comprehension and expression, it does not show any affect to intellect ability. The verbal expressive skills management programme (VESMP) is the software which developed augmented management for patients to enhance verbal expressive skills for patients with severe Broca's aphasia from different geographic areas.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

The two groups were included for speech therapy. For any given subject, aphasia severity evaluations were completed on the same day.includes patients that are 40+ years old, and have three months of post stroke with diagnosis of chronic Broca's Aphasias, each patient received treatment for 4 months that includes 04 VESMP sessions per week with each session being 30-45 minutes long. The measurement will be taken at 0 week (baseline) after 16 weeks.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

VESMP

Participants used VESMP at least half hour session thrice a week over an average of 4 months. The instruction before every domain included using it independently on the participant's own smart phone, or with a trained person either in the clinic or on their phone brought to the participant's home.

Total 25 patients with diagnosis of severe non-fluent aphasia included, ages 40+, at least 3 months post-onset of single unilateral CVA affecting the language dominant hemisphere at the time of baseline testing also including, Participant demographics, aphasia classification and severity. All subjects participated in an intensive 2-week VESMP treatment program prior to beginning the individualized programs.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

VESMP

Intervention Type OTHER

. The application contains following seven domains: spontaneous speech, comprehension, naming, reading, writing, imitation and automated speech. The programme was developed in Urdu language which contains different daily functional words, phrases and sentences. Treatment stimuli consisted of images of objects along with auditory sounds of person and actions cues. The voice output can operate by pressing the selected picture with index finger. Participants received 1-16 weeks of therapy using software of two domains with different difficulty levels. Specifically the programme included seven domains within the software comprising of eight 30-45 minutes sessions (4 days per week for total 16weeks). The measurement will be taken at 0 week (baseline) after 16 weeks.

Traditional Therapy

Control group received traditional therapy total 25 patients with diagnosis of severe non-fluent aphasia included, All subjects participated in an traditional therapy group in routine and received language therapy for 4 months of periods with three sessions per week.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Traditional Therapy

Intervention Type OTHER

, All subjects participated in an traditional therapy group in routine and received MIT for 4 months of periods with three sessions per week to improve language skills.
