Abstract

Objective To compare the effects of observation to non-goal-oriented hand actions with video or pictures on speech recovery in stroke patients with chronic non-fluent aphasia.
Methods From January, 2016 to December, 2018, 30 patients with non-fluent aphasia after stroke were randomly divided into two groups. The control group (n = 15) repeated the verbs after watching picture, and the experimental group (n = 15) repeated the verbs after watching videos, for four weeks. They were assessed with Western Aphasia Battery (WAB) before treatment and every week after treatment.
Results Aphasia quotient (AQ) increased with time (F > 32.922, P < 0.001), but no significant difference was found between two groups at any time points ( t < 0.699, P > 0.05). The interactive effect between time and group was significant ( F = 6.398, P < 0.001), which suggested that AQ increased more in the experimental group than in the control group.
Conclusion For non-goal-oriented hand action observation, video observation maybe promote speech recovery in stroke patients with chronic non-fluent aphasia.
