what are hemorrhagic and ischemic strokes?
|
Hemorrhagic strokes occur when a blood vessel ruptures and blood either rushes through the brain tissue destroying it (intra-cerebral hemorrhage) or collects outside the brain (extra-cerebral) in one of the spaces between the meninges causing compression of the brain within the skull. Ischemic stokes occur when cells are deprived of oxygen because of a obstruction of blood supply.

What is aphasia?
|
Aphasia is an impairment, as a result of brain damage, of the capacity for interpretation and formulation of language symbols; multimodality loss or reduction in efficiency of the ability to decode and encode conventional meaningful linguistic elements, disproportionate to impairment of other intellective functions

|
Dementia is a chronic, progressive, deterioration of intellect, personality, memory, and communicative function resulting from central nervous system dysfunction

|
What is the stimulation approach in aphasia treatment?
|
Stimulation approach is a treatment which employs strong, controlled, and intensive auditory stimulation of the impaired symbol system as the primary tool to facilitate and maximize the patient’s reorganization and recovery of language
