Details and patient eligibility

About

This study is examining the use of intensive melodic intonation therapy and video feedback as a means of aiding individuals with nonfluent aphasia and co-occurring motor speech impairments. Individuals with nonfluent aphasia have difficulty with language, particularly with word retrieval.

Intervention
Experimental group
Description:
20 sessions/4 weeks: Video Feedback: S1) Participant (P1) views recording of previous session with the clinician \& judges whether the production is intelligible. S2) S1 \& the clinician identifies changes in motor movements that are influencing performance. S3+S4) S1+S2 \& given support from the clinician, P1 identifies techniques improving intelligibility \& modifies behavior accordingly. MIT (Albert et al., 1973; Helm-Estabrooks et al., 2014): Humming - Clinician introduces the target phrase by showing a visual cue, humming the phrase, then intoning the phrase while P1 taps left-hand. Simultaneous production with melody - The Clinician and P1 melodically produce the target phrase \& tap together. Simultaneous melodic production accompanied by gradual reduction of clinician support. Immediate repetition response to probe question - Following P1's successful repetition, the clinician melodically produces a question and P1 melodically produces the target.
