Abstract

<p>Depending on the lesion site and age at onset, recovery of aphasia symptoms varies in course greatly; however, many aphasic cases show recovery over long terms of at least six months or more. Functional restoration of language by therapy is not stable but rather fragile. However, the types of therapy that are suitable for the improvement of any given language function remains inconclusive. Recently, constraint-induced (CI) therapy and repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) have been utilized in the treatment of aphasia. As for speech therapy, direct language stimulation has been found to be universally important. Therefore, if the quality and quantity of language stimulation are improved and if combined therapies with CI therapy and/or rTMS become possible, further improvement of language function may be expected.</p>
