Abstract

Anomia, a word-finding difficulty, is a frequent consequence of poststroke linguistic disturbance, associated with fluent and nonfluent aphasia that needs long-term specific and intensive speech rehabilitation. The present study explored the feasibility of telerehabilitation as compared to a conventional face-to-face treatment of naming, in patients with poststroke anomia. Five aphasic chronic patients participated in this study characterized by: strictly controlled crossover design; well-balanced lists of words in picture-naming tasks where progressive phonological cues were provided; same kind of the treatment in the two ways of administration. ANOVA was used to compare naming accuracy in the two types of treatment, at three time points: baseline, after treatment, and followup. The results revealed no main effect of treatment type (P=0.844) indicating that face-to-face and tele-treatment yielded comparable results. Moreover, there was a significant main effect of time (P=0.0004) due to a better performance immediately after treatment and in the followup when comparing them to baseline. These preliminary results show the feasibility of teletreatment applied to lexical deficits in chronic stroke patients, extending previous work on telerehabilitation and opening new vistas for future studies on teletreatment of language functions.

  • In stroke-induced aphasia, several studies have demonstrated the utility of teletherapy for the treatment of anomia.

    “In stroke-induced aphasia, several studies have demonstrated the utility of teletherapy for the treatment of anomia.”

    From <p>Investigating the utility of teletherapy in individuals with primary progressive aphasia</p> (2019) · cites this paper as [53]

    The Discussion reports improved naming after teletherapy in this five-patient pilot study and says its findings are consistent with a few other small studies. But it describes the three previous home-treatment studies as studies of poststroke aphasia generally; the Introduction identifies only one previous study specifically on lexical retrieval. The claim that several studies demonstrated utility for anomia is therefore broader than this paper establishes. (LLM, conf=0.82)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured

  • Following lexical retrieval treatment delivered via teleconference, gains were observed on trained items relative to untrained items, with one study reporting generalization to untrained items and tasks.

    “Following LRT delivered via teleconference, gains were observed on trained items relative to untrained items,53–55,57 with one study reporting generalization to untrained items and tasks.55”

    From <p>Investigating the utility of teletherapy in individuals with primary progressive aphasia</p> (2019) · cites this paper as [53]

    Results §3.2 reports better naming performance on treated than control items immediately after training, supporting the first part of the claim. The paper evaluated possible generalization to untreated items but does not report gains on them or generalization to other tasks; its reported outcome was picture naming. (LLM, conf=0.88)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured

  • Evidence supports the use of teletherapy in stroke-induced aphasia.

    “Evidence supports the use of teletherapy in stroke-induced aphasia”

    From <p>Investigating the utility of teletherapy in individuals with primary progressive aphasia</p> (2019) · cites this paper as [53]

  • Studies utilizing crossover or quasi-randomized controlled design reported roughly equivalent gains for teletherapy and in-person treatment.

    “Of the aforementioned studies, those who have utilized either a crossover design or a quasi-randomized controlled design to allow the comparison of teletherapy with traditional, in-person treatment reported roughly equivalent gains for the two treatment conditions.53,56,57”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
