Brief Summary

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

Aphasia is a disorder of language processing caused by a lesion in particular brain regions. Treatment aims at improving or restoring impaired function or at compensating for deficits. More recently, computer technology has been integrated into treatment options. In this study, a detailed and comprehensive computerized software program for aphasia rehabilitation is designed for the treatment of Arabic speaking Egyptian aphasic patients.

Aim of the study: design a computerized software program for the rehabilitation of Arabic speaking Egyptian aphasic patients.

Aphasia is a disorder of language processing caused by a lesion in particular brain regions. Treatment aims at improving or restoring impaired function or at compensating for deficits. More recently, computer technology has been integrated into treatment options. In this study, a detailed and comprehensive computerized software program for aphasia rehabilitation is designed for the treatment of Arabic speaking Egyptian aphasic patients.

Aim of the study: design a computerized software program for the rehabilitation of Arabic speaking Egyptian aphasic patients.

Subjects: The study was conducted on 50 patients with aphasia who attend the unit of Phoniatrics during the period of one year, Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Alexandria Main University Hospitals.

Methodology: The training materials were designed as a software program. Each patient was subjected to assessment before and after the application of the rehabilitation program. Patients were randomized into two groups: group I who received therapy using the software aphasia rehabilitation program and group II who received conventional (traditional) language therapy. Therapy continued for 48 sessions over six months.
