Guide To The Treatment And Recovery Process Of A Hemorrhagic Stroke

Speech Therapy

An individual who experiences a hemorrhagic stroke may need to undergo speech therapy as part of their treatment and rehabilitation if the speech center in their brain has been affected. Non-fluent aphasia is a form of speech difficulty that occurs in individuals when the left frontal region of the brain incurs damage. Individuals who have non-fluent aphasia tend to understand what others say but cannot form words or phrases themselves. Fluent aphasia is a form of speech difficulty that occurs when the patient has been affected in the part of the brain responsible for helping them understand the meaning of words and sentences that are spoken. Speech therapy for hemorrhagic stroke patients aims to restore as much functional speech as possible, teach alternative communication methods, and teach ways to compensate for language skill loss. Speech therapy is performed with a speech-language pathologist who is familiar with treating individuals who have experienced speech loss due to brain damage or a stroke. Speech therapy may involve working in a group setting with other patients who have speech difficulty, using computer programs, using mobile apps, notecards, pictures, and other tools.
