Background and Purpose . There is an increasing interest in the effect of nonpharmacological interventions on course patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD). The objective present study to determine benefits a structured, multidomain, mostly computer-based, cognitive training (MCT) οn performance early-stage AD. Method Fifty AD participated study. Patients were randomly allocated either program group (<mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"...
Cognitive impairment is frequently encountered in multiple sclerosis (MS) affecting between 40–65% of individuals, irrespective disease duration and severity physical disability. In the present multicenter randomized controlled trial, fifty-eight clinically stable RRMS patients with mild to moderate cognitive relatively low disability status were receive either computer-assisted (RehaCom) functional training an emphasis on episodic memory, information processing speed/attention, executive...
The purpose of the present study was to explore effects computer-based multidomain cognitive training program on Greek patients with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI). Forty-six MCI were randomly divided into two groups; (a) group, which received a use RehaCom software and (b) control underwent standard-clinical care. duration 15 weeks, administered twice week for approximately one hour per session. Analysis baseline versus endpoint performance each group demonstrated that in delayed memory...
Abstract Objective The purpose of this study was to implement a novel intervention program integrating cognitive remediation and traditional speech language therapy (SLT) in persons with aphasia (PWA) assess the effectiveness combined improving aphasic deficits. Method PWA following stroke were assigned one two groups. In treatment group (CTG; n = 12), participants treated SLT computerized training utilizing Rehacom rehabilitation software, while (SLTG; 10) received only targeting both...
Abstract Objective The aim of the present study was to investigate efficacy and feasibility a telerehabilitation program in multi-domain amnestic Mild Cognitive Impairment (md-aMCI). sample consisted 30 patients with md-aMCI aged 60–80 years. Methods participants were randomly divided into two groups. Training Group (TG), which received cognitive training by using RehaCom software as well paper-pencil language Control (CG) standard clinical care (e.g., psychotherapy or/and physiotherapy)....
The purpose of the present study was to explore whether Computer-Based Cognitive Training (C-BCT) versus Paper-Pencil (P-PCT) is more beneficial in improving cognitive and language deficits Greek patients living with Alzheimer's disease (pwAD). Twenty pwAD were assigned two groups: (a) C-BCT group, receiving a computer-based training program using RehaCom software, (b) P-PCT which received paper pencil. programs lasted 15 weeks administered twice week for approximately one hour per session....
Previous studies have reported that widely used tests for aphasia identification are unable to detect the subtle language deficits of left hemisphere brain damaged (LHBD) individuals. Similarly, disorders individuals with right damage (RHBD) usually remain undetected, due lack any specialized test evaluation their processing skills. The aim present study was evaluate 80 suffering from effects either a LHBD or RHBD stroke, who were diagnosed as having no based on application Boston Diagnostic...
Background: The last two decades have afforded a small but steady rise in the number of studies exposing language dysfunctions patients with relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS), most common form however, not much is known about word class naming deficits this group individuals.Aim: To explore whether individuals RRMS show favouring either nouns or verbs, and if verb accuracy affected by semantic phonological type.Method: A total 31 adults were compared to 28 demographically matched...
The study investigates the ability of Greek-speaking individuals diagnosed with mild Alzheimer's Disease (mAD) and Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) to produce verbs that vary respect their grammatical lexical aspect. While aspect has been examined in aphasia, there are only a few studies dealing this neurodegenerative conditions findings contradictory. Motivated by this, we further investigate examining not but as well how semantic temporal features affect mAD MCI individuals' performance....
Melodic intonation therapy (MIT) is one of the most well-known treatment methods which based on pitch and rhythm was developed to increase verbal output in adults with non-fluent aphasia. Although MIT has been adapted several languages, Greece it almost unknown. The aim proposed study twofold: (1) translate adapt Greek language, (2) conduct an experimental order examine effect patients Broca’s To this aim, a 64-year-old, right-handed male who had 6-year primary school education level, no...
The aim of the present study was to validate Communication and Language Assessment questionnaire for persons with Multiple Sclerosis (CLAMS) into Greek language.
Down syndrome (DS) is the most common developmental disorder characterized by mild to moderate intellectual disability. Several studies have reported poor language and prosodic skills contradictory results regarding individuals' with DS socio-cognitive skills, whereas of them focused on children DS. The present study attempts explore adults' language, abilities via use story-retellings. Twenty adults two groups TD children, one matched their expressive vocabulary (TD-EVT) other nonverbal...
Background and Objectives: To date, only one study has investigated the association between rs616147 polymorphism of Myelin-associated Oligodendrocyte Basic Protein (MOBP) locus Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). Materials Methods: A case-control was performed. Patients with definite sporadic ALS were prospectively consecutively recruited from inpatient outpatient clinics Neurology Department General University Hospital Larissa, Central Greece. Community based, age sex matched healthy...
The aim of the present study was to adapt and validate Speech Pathology-Specific Questionnaire for Persons with Multiple Sclerosis (SMS) into Greek language.
This study aims at investigating the ability of Greek-speaking individuals diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) to comprehend produce verbs that vary respect their lexical grammatical aspect. Lexical aspect concerns situation types different temporal semantic features, such as activity ( run ), state know achievement break semelfactive hit accomplishment build ) (Smith 1997).
