Enabling fluent speech in non-fluent aphasia: Dr. Julius Fridriksson at TEDxColumbiaSC

Director of the Aphasia Laboratory at the University of South Carolina, where he seeks to clarify the relationship between brain damage and speech/language impediments. His work has led to significant breakthroughs in helping stroke victims regain their ability to speak.

My husband has global aphasia and also apraxia and after 2 years this type of therapy has helped him alot to be able to say words, but still to this day he cannot speak words on his own other than a few he has learned over and over, repeat words he does well, just not able to come up with his own words to say. He still has yes and no backwards as well sometimes. Very frustrating. I wish there was more to help him speak on his own. He still can't write either. He is only 59 years old now. 57 when it happened.

This is really exciting. I wonder how the research has progressed since 2012.

Hope for aphasia treatment and therapy!!!! Thank-you Dr. Fridriksson!

[brillo]

Great video! I can imagine that the non-fluent aspect of this type of aphasia would be very frustrating to the client, and I'm glad to learn about how to help clients "get over" it.

[sidrajaved]

This is a really very incredible work done in developing the therapeutic plan for expressive aphasia

I was a TA a while ago and my prof had an accident resulting in brain injury. She couldn't read/took a long time to write. She ended up giving the class to another prof and taking the semester off so she could do rehab.

Not sure how to say this but I loose words when talking and its very frustrating. I once suffered such bad concussion I temporarliy lost my speech and just got muddled up with words. I know exactly what I want to say but the word dissappears. I could easily mimick anything however. So this although helpfull to an extent isnt helping the brain recall its own words. Its saying someone elses words. The words are in the conscience where you think but not appearing in the place they appear before you say them. Hope that makes sense?

Once I couldn't walk but only crawl with legs trembling led down the hall to the broom. Another I couldn't understand English. Another aphasia.
And some few others I call. Popcorns because they weren't so dramatic. Supplements? Those two mainly. I've heard cinnamon causes
Brain recovery but I didn't consistently took them. As of all my stroke stuff you wouldn't know to see me. My aphasia is about almost gone.
I can talk and have normal conversations. You'd never know. My memory is almost back. Long term great back to about 4 yrs old. Short term
Has some occasional oops sarong word or can't recall that one. Oh and once I couldn't move my right arm correctly. And couldnt play chess
Which play a lot computerized. So yeah. I'm eager to day all I took was coconut oil about half to three fourth a ice tea spoon of a flat spoon
Full. Fish oil like I said. These things work. I've increased the coconut oil to double that slowly over about a month or a bit more if I felt it was safe to go up without Dr. newports cautions. For all and so I'm a normal walking and conversing person.

Wow! This is amazing! However, I have a quick question. How is his meaningful spontaneous communication? Yes, he made sentences but he worked on sentence repetitions which in reality is not really meaningful communication. What are the next steps on this research to transfer this to spontaneous communication? I wonder if drilling core words with these videos and focus on motor memory that way the pts can have these videos stick in their memory would help to spontaneous communication? Please share any updates!

I'm worried that I have something wrong with my speech. I always have trouble articulating what I want to say. I want to figure out a way to fix this :(

I want to buy one of these I pads for my mother who had a stroke and has aphasia.  Her whole world has collapsed and I will do anything to help her get it back.  She is only 3 week past the stroke and still in rehab but her case is severe.  Can someone tell me where to get one please?

[debbiramsey]

I take fishoil about more then I should normal folk should. I read the vid on the sago mine disaster victim. His recovery I've seen of it was remarkable. I'm afraid to say how much to keep casual readers getting any ideas. It's iffy I know watch to watch for. Having no problems and my doc even asked me if I had any. No. I take fish oil and coconut oil every day without fail I have had serious strokes and yes I never fail to take them both.

[michaelwonderly]

It’s crazy how this was 9 YEARS ago…
Think about what we have discovered in 10 years!!!

[supergirliexx]

This is amazing. Where is the app or programme they used ?

[toni]

My question is; can this procedure improve the memory of the patient?

[taradolen]
