Description

Aphasia is an acquired impairment of production or comprehension of language or both resulting from damage to the language network in the brain. In this book, the authors present topical research in the study of the classification, management practices and prognosis of an aphasia diagnosis. Topics discussed include aphasia consequences to the patient and care-givers; the clinical patterns of aphasia; intensive treatment, pharmacotherapy, transcranial magnetic/electric stimulation as a potential adjuvant treatment for aphasia; diagnosis and management of language impairment in acute stroke; and aphasia classifications. - from Amzon
