Vos, Sandra H.; Kessels, Roy P. C.; Vinke, R. Saman; Esselink, Rianne A. J.; Piaia, Vitória – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2021
Purpose: This systematic review focuses on the effect of bilateral deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) on language function in Parkinson's disease (PD). It fills an important gap in recent reviews by considering other language tasks in addition to verbal fluency. Method: We critically and systematically reviewed the…

Kim, Esther S.; Rising, Kindle; Rapcsak, Steven Z.; Beeson, Pélagie M. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2015
Purpose: Damage to left ventral occipito-temporal cortex can give rise to written language impairment characterized by pure alexia/letter-by-letter (LBL) reading, as well as surface alexia and agraphia. The purpose of this study was to examine the therapeutic effects of a combined treatment approach to address concurrent LBL reading with surface…

Mahler, Leslie A.; Ramig, Lorraine O. – Clinical Linguistics & Phonetics, 2012
This study investigated the impact of a well-defined behavioral dysarthria treatment on acoustic and perceptual measures of speech in four adults with dysarthria secondary to stroke. A single-subject A-B-A experimental design was used to measure the effects of the Lee Silverman Voice Treatment (LSVT[R]LOUD) on the speech of individual…
