IMPROVEMENT OF TECHNIQUES FOR SPEECH RECOVERY IN PATIENTS WITH THE APHASIAS CAUSED BY CEREBRAL LESIONS WITH BACK LOCALIZATION
Speech recovery in patients with aphasia, who suffered from an cerebrovascular accident (CVA), is one of the most important directions in their rehabilitation. It is also is one of the most important issue in the speech therapy. Here we developed a modified technique for speech recovery based on reconsidered strategy for rehabilitation of patients with aphasia caused by cerebral lesions with back localization. We optimized techniques for correction of speech disorders caused by acoustic-gnostic, acoustic-mnestic, semantic aphasia. In the proposed techniques we took into account current data on disease progression and specific factors influencing recovery of patients with the specific aphasia forms. The offered techniques have been tested in clinic for 10 years. The patients at both early and late recovery stages were included in research. We confirmed that the developed correctional techniques allow increasing efficacy of rehabilitation of aphasia patients, regardless of the recovery stage. It is reflected in a percentage ratio of considerable improvement / full recovery of the speech in the experimental group of patients versus control group. The key feature of the technique allowing to achieve considerable speech recovery is an integrated approach needed for treatment of patients with aphasia.
