Imitating gesture learning in apraxic patients.

The authors studied a group of patients with ideomotor apraxia (IMA) to verify if these patients had some difficulties in gesture learning task in respect to non-apraxic patients and normal control subjects. The results show that learning difficulties are present in patients with IMA. Apraxic patients are not able to perform the gestures in the testing situation and non in everyday life; this fact would demonstrate that the motor pattern still exists in these patients but is inaccessible unless elicited by a strong stimulation.

[The evaluation of aphasic deficits for the definition of a targetted logotherapeutic treatment].

The Aachener Aphasie Test (AAT) is the major German test for the diagnosis of aphasic disorders. The test is easy to use and is valid and reliable for the diagnosis of aphasia and its severity and to evaluate the recovery of the aphasic disorder after language rehabilitation. The AAT is, however, not sufficient to define cognitively sound logotherapeutic treatment. The use of tasks which are based on cognitive functional models allows the identification of specific processing levels that have been damaged by a cerebral lesion, and the definition of a focussed rehabilitation plan. In this paper, we will discuss the results of a cognitive neurolinguistic treatment in a patient who suffered of Broca's aphasia with agrammatism and phonological dyslexia.
