A NIH-funded project testing combined aphasia and robot-assisted arm therapy to improve language and motor recovery in chronic stroke survivors, aiming to develop innovative rehabilitation methods.
Description
This project aims to test a novel combined treatment approach integrating computerized aphasia therapy with robot-assisted upper-extremity treatment to improve outcomes in chronic stroke survivors. The research will explore whether this combined therapy enhances language and motor recovery and specifically improves lexical retrieval related to arm movement. The goal is to develop effective, efficient rehabilitation strategies that could shift paradigms in stroke recovery.
