Classical models have traditionally focused on the left posterior inferior frontal gyrus (Broca's
area) as a key region for motor planning of speech production. However, converging …

ABSTRACT Background: The Directions Into Velocities of Articulators (DIVA) model and its
partner, the Gradient Order DIVA (GODIVA) model, provide neurobiologically grounded …

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the interrater reliability and validity of the
Apraxia of Speech Rating Scale (ASRS-3.5) as an index of the presence and severity of …

Purpose Apraxia of speech (AOS) is a consequence of stroke that frequently co-occurs with
aphasia. Its study is limited by difficulties with its perceptual evaluation and dissociation from …

Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) over the left inferior frontal gyrus (IFG) was
found to improve oral and written naming in post-stroke and primary progressive aphasia …

Objective: Aphasia and apraxia of speech (AOS) after stroke frequently co-occur with a hand
motor impairment but few studies have investigated stroke recovery across motor and …

Apraxia of speech (AOS) is a motor speech disorder that disrupts the planning and
programming of speech motor movements. In the acute stage of stroke recovery, AOS …

Background There is a growing body of evidence that speech and language therapy (SLT)
intervention is effective in improving communication ability for individuals with non …

Purpose There is a recognized need for a reliable assessment instrument for apraxia of
speech (AOS) diagnosis for post stroke patients. In 2014, Strand and colleagues reported …

There is a rich tradition of research on the neuroanatomical correlates of spoken language
production in aphasia using constrained tasks (eg, picture naming), which offer controlled …
