Neuropsychological rehabilitation in patients with motor transcortical aphasia: case study.
Abstract
Aphasia is a disorder that is characterized by loss or deterioration of the complex processes necessary for the understanding and expression of language. The main cause of these disorders are cerebral vascular events. Rehabilitation treatments in these patients are focused on expression in processes such as verbal fluency and nomination, as well as verbal comprehension. The aim of this work was to perform a neuropsychological intervention in a patient with transcortical motor aphasia. An intervention plan of 19 sessions was carried out to improve the performance in the nomination through semantic and phonological cues, as well as sessions focused on the understanding of oral commands. The results showed improvements in the number of words nominated and a slight improvement in comprehension. It was concluded that the implemented tasks generated improvement in these processes, being the phonological aids with better effect on the semantics, as well as improvements in their activities of the patient's daily life.
