A research project funded to evaluate a combined aerobic exercise and phonological-motor treatment to improve reading competence in stroke survivors with aphasia, aiming to enhance brain function and language recovery.
Description
This project aims to test the effectiveness of a hybrid treatment approach for reading disorders after stroke, combining aerobic exercise training (AET) with targeted phonological-motor treatment (PMT). The goal is to enhance cerebral blood flow (CBF) and neuroplasticity to improve language outcomes in stroke survivors with aphasia.
