    TYPES OF APHASIA TO KNOW

    BROCA'S APHASIA
    Broca's aphasia is typically caused by a middle cerebral artery
    stroke (MCA), where the lesion is found in the premotor area of
    the left frontal lobe.

    Broca's aphasia is characterized as a slowed and hesitant speech


    pattern, where the patient's vocabulary is limited. The patient presents
    with difficulty properly arranging words into well-formed sentences.

    Broca's Aphasia can also be called Expressive aphasia


    or Non-fluent aphasia on the NPTE. The saying,
    "B.E.N has Broca's" is an easy way to remember these
    interchangeable names.

    WERNICKE'S APHASIA
    Wernicke's aphasia is typically caused by a middle cerebral
    artery stroke (MCA), where the lesion is found in the
    auditory association cortex in the left lateral temporal lobe.

    Wernick'es aphasia is characterized as a speech that flows smoothly


    with a perserved melody, however the speech is often incoherent.

    The patient's auditory comprehension is impaired thus the patient


    demonstrates difficulty with comprehending spoken language and
    following commands. In many cases, the patient is also unable to
    comprehend written words.

    Wernicke's aphasia is also known as receptive aphasia,


    sensory aphasia, or fluent aphasia on the NPTE.

    GLOBAL APHASIA

    Global aphasia is typically caused by a middle cerebral


    artery stroke (MCA), where the lesion is found in the third
    frontal convolution and the posterior aspect of the
    superior temporal gyrus.

    Global aphasia is a combination of both Broca's and


    Wernicke's aphasia and is characterized as a non-fluent
    speech with poor comprehension. This the most severe form
    of aphasia which often indicates severe brain damage.

    Patient's with global aphasia have a significantly poorer


    prognosis compared to the other forms of aphasia.

    COMMON TREATMENTS
    Promoting Aphasics' Communication Effectiveness (PACE)

    If your patient likes the game "Charades", they will find this therapy fun!

    The primary goal of this treatment is to improve the patient's conversational skills.

    During treatment the patient and the clinician take turns being the message sender
    or receiver. The message sender gets a picture prompt and must use
    different communication modalities to convey the message.

    Visual Action Therapy (VAT)

    Most often used with patients who have global aphasia. VAT is a non-verbal
    treatment composed of 12 progressively difficult levels. 

    The patient will begin tracing common objects, followed by matching objects to the
    tracing. The patient will later progress to pantomiming tasks, where gestures are
    used to identify visible objects and then to symbolize absent objects.
