Abstract:

Latar Belakang: Afasia adalah kehilangan atau penurunan keterampilan komunikasi dan bahasa yang merupakan akibat dari kerusakan otak (biasanya di belahan otak kiri) dan terjadi pada lebih dari sepertiga orang yang selamat dari stroke.Tujuan: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh Melodic Intonation Therapy terhadap kemampuan fungsional komunikasi pada pasien stroke dengan afasia motorik.Metode: metode yang digunakan adalah quasy eksperimen pre and post test dengan desain kelompok kontrol dengan teknik purposive sampling dengan jenis consecutive sampling yang kemudian kelompok intervensi dan kelompok kontrol ditentukan menggunakan simple random sampling. Instrumen yang digunakan untuk menilai kemampuan fungsional komunikasi adalah DFCS (Derby Functional Communication Scale). Responden berjumlah 23 orang (12 kelompok intervensi dan 11 kelompok kontrol. Penentuan afasia motorik menggunakan instrumen TADIR (Tes Aphasia untuk Diagnosis Informasi Rehabilitasi).Hasil: Hasil uji-t independen diperoleh nilai p 0,08 yang berarti tidak ada efek Melodic Intonation Therapy pada kemampuan fungsional komunikasi pada pasien stroke dengan motor afasia. Kata kunci : stroke, afasia motorik, kemampuan fungsional komunikasi, melodic intonation therapy ABSTRACTIntroduction: Aphasia is a loss or decrease in communication skills and language that is a result of brain damage (usually in the left hemisphere) and occurs in more than a third of people who survive strokeObjective: This study aimed to determine the effect of melodic intonation therapy on the functional ability of communication in stroke patients with aphasia motor.Method: the method used is a quasy experiment pre and post test with control group design with a purposive sampling technique with the type of consecutive sampling which then the intervention group and the control group were determined using simple random sampling. The instrument used to assess the functional ability of communication is DFCS (Derby Functional Communication Scale). Respondents numbered 23 people (12 intervention groups and 11 control groups. Aphasia motor determination using the TADIR (Aphasia Test for Rehabilitation Information Diagnosis) instrument.Results: The independent t-test results obtained p value 0.08 which means there is no effect of melodic intonation therapy on the functional ability of communication in stroke patients with aphasia motor.Conclusion: The role of nurses as collaborators is very important because the knowledge of nurses will help bridge patients with speech therapists in interprofessional collaboration. Nurses can help in the availability of data on stroke patients with motor aphasia and therapy and provide education to the family in fulfilling the functional capabilities of communication communication as a basic human need. Keywords: stroke, motor aphasia, communication functional ability, melodic intonation therapy

Abstract:

For decades Melodic Intonation Therapy (MIT) has shown good potential within the aphasia population, yet has seldom been used as a frontline treatment, rather placed within a myriad of treatment techniques utilized during aphasia therapy. Debate continues regarding the mechanisms of change from MIT, both therapeutically and neurologically. Modified Melodic Intonation Therapy (MMIT) has developed through the work of Music Therapists and, as the main focus of treatment for non-fluent aphasia, can be an effective means of language re-acquisition for improved speech production. Clinical results from 7 clients with chronic non-fluent aphasia who received MMIT are discussed.

Abstract:

Objective: To collect data to estimate the sample size of a definitive randomized controlled trial to evaluate the effects of Melodic Intonation Therapy in post-stroke nonfluent aphasia. Design: A randomized, crossover, interventional pilot trial. Setting: Departments of Neurology and Rehabilitation from a university general hospital. Participants: Stroke survivors with post-stroke nonfluent aphasia. Interventions: Patients randomized to group 1 had treatment with Melodic Intonation Therapy first (12 sessions over six weeks) followed by no treatment; the patients in group 2 started active treatment between three and six months after their inclusion in the study, serving as waiting list controls for the first phase. Main measures: The Communicative Activity Log (CAL) questionnaire and the Boston Diagnostic Aphasia Examination (BDAE) were evaluated at baseline, and at six and 12 weeks. Results: Twenty patients were included. Four of the patients allocated to group 2 crossed over to group 1, receiving the treatment at first. Intention-to-treat analysis: after adjustment for baseline scores, the mean difference in the CAL evaluation from baseline in the treated group was 8.5 points (95% confidence interval (CI), 0.11–17.0; P = .043), with no significant change in any of the BDAE sections. Per-protocol analysis showed similar results with a clear treatment effect ( P = .043) on the CAL. Conclusion: Melodic Intonation Therapy might have a positive effect on the communication skills of stroke survivors with nonfluent aphasia as measured by the CAL questionnaire. A full-scale trial with at least 27 patients per group is necessary to confirm these results.

Abstract:

Purpose The purpose of this study was to assess the efficacy. of increasing spontaneous expressive language using a modified melodic intonation therapy (MIT) approach with a male participant diagnosed with acquired aphasia and apraxia who was 10 years post onset. Method A therapeutic protocol consisting of vocal and linguistic tasks was administered. The participant attended two 50-min individual sessions and a 4-hr/week socialization program for three 12-week semesters. Measures of speech and language were administered before intervention and at the completion of each of the 3 semesters. Results At the completion of the study, the participant demonstrated reduced apraxia of speech as measured by The Apraxia Battery for Adults, Second Edition (Dabul, 2000). He also showed improvements in auditory comprehension skills as measured on the Boston Diagnostic Aphasia Evaluation (Goodglass, Kaplan, & Barresi, 2000). His spontaneous utterances were characterized by an increased number of complete sentences and questions. Several language parameters including mean length of utterance, total number of spontaneous (untrained) utterances, and number of different words spoken were also improved as revealed through language analysis. Conclusions Integration of melodic intonation therapy through the addition of musical elements may result in improved speech and expressive language skills when administered over a 9-month period in conjunction with a group socialization program.

Abstract:

This study examined the efficacy of Melodic Intonation Therapy (MIT) in a male singer (KL) with severe Broca’s aphasia. Thirty novel phrases were allocated to one of three experimental conditions: unrehearsed, rehearsed verbal production (repetition), and rehearsed verbal production with melody (MIT). The results showed superior production of MIT phrases during therapy. Comparison of performance at baseline, 1 week, and 5 weeks after therapy revealed an initial beneficial effect of both types of rehearsal; however, MIT was more durable, facilitating longer-term phrase production. Our findings suggest that MIT facilitated KL’s speech praxis, and that combining melody and speech through rehearsal promoted separate storage and/or access to the phrase representation.

Abstract:

IT HAS BEEN REPORTED THAT PATIENTS WITH SEVERELY nonfluent aphasia are better at singing lyrics than speaking the same words. This observation inspired the development of Melodic Intonation Therapy (MIT), a treatment whose effects have been shown, but whose efficacy is unproven and neural correlates remain unidentified. Because of its potential to engage/unmask language-capable regions in the unaffected right hemisphere, MIT is particularly well suited for patients with large left-hemisphere lesions. Using two patients with similar impairments and stroke size/location, we show the effects of MIT and a control intervention. Both interventions' post-treatment outcomes revealed significant improvement in propositional speech that generalized to unpracticed words and phrases; however, the MITtreated patient's gains surpassed those of the controltreated patient. Treatment-associated imaging changes indicate that MIT's unique engagement of the right hemisphere, both through singing and tapping with the left hand to prime the sensorimotor and premotor cortices for articulation, accounts for its effect over nonintoned speech therapy.

Abstract:

Aphasia is one of the most common clinical features of functional impairment after a stroke. Approximately 21–40% of stroke patients sustain permanent aphasia, which progressively worsens one’s quality of life and rehabilitation outcomes. Post-stroke aphasia treatment strategies include speech language therapies, cognitive neurorehabilitation, telerehabilitation, computer-based management, experimental pharmacotherapy, and physical medicine. This review focuses on current evidence of the effectiveness of impairment-based aphasia therapies and communication-based therapies (as well as the timing and optimal treatment intensities for these interventions). Moreover, we present specific interventions, such as constraint-induced aphasia therapy (CIAT) and melodic intonation therapy (MIT). Accumulated data suggest that using transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is safe and can be used to modulate cortical excitability. Therefore, we review clinical studies that present TMS and tDCS as (possible) promising therapies in speech and language recovery, stimulating neuroplasticity. Several drugs have been used in aphasia pharmacotherapy, but evidence from clinical studies suggest that only nootropic agents, donepezil and memantine, may improve the prognosis of aphasia. This article is an overview on the current state of knowledge related to post-stroke aphasia pharmacology, rehabilitation, and future trends.

Abstract:

Language is the most important instrument of communication that permits to express thoughts, feelings, sensations, desires and needs and to describe and comprehend emotions. Music without words can evoke strong emotional reactions by directly affecting emotional centres in the brain. Playing of music instrument or even listening to music can create neuroplastic changes in brain by activating compensatory mechanisms. Whereas during the listening to the music that is pleasant and preferred by the client, dopamine is released which is necessary for creating new neuron connections in the brain. Music therapy provides possibilities of effective treatment, the decrement of complications and disorders, as well as learning and recovering of skills for both children and adults with various speech and language disorders. In Latvia the integrative eclectic approach is being developed in music therapy. It permits to apply both creative music therapy methods and techniques and receptive techniques that are based on listening to music. For children with speech and language disorders more suitable are creative music therapy techniques that facilitate the awareness of oneself and one’s resources, the improvement of interaction, cooperation and communication skills, emotional expressions and control, the development of the speech motor system and the improvement of language skills. Music therapy is one of the few treatment possibilities that includes simultaneous work on improving motor skills and recognition of emotional difficulties and their solving. It is essential for patients that stutter to get help in correcting along with the psychological and emotional support and help. For patients after a stroke and with aphasia of various origins recommended and effective for recovering and improving speech and language skills are Melodic intonation therapy, SIPARI®, listening to music, as well as playing music in both individual and group therapies. Playing music as multisensory activity which activates and connects such areas and systems in the brain that normally are not working together. Therefore, it can stimulate the overtaking of the lost skills by non-damaged brain parts and restores speech and language skills.

Abstract:

Introduction. Alexia without agraphia is an impairment of reading ability. Speech, auditory comprehension, repetition and writing are relatively intact. Due to a damage of the splenium of corpus callosum, alexia without agraphia is considered to be an interhemispheric disconnection syndrome. Case Report. We presented a 71-year-old male, with chronic hypertension, diabetes mellitus and dyslipidemia. The magnetic resonance imaging showed a lesion in the left medial temporal region, including the equilateral thalamus, posterior cingulate gyrus, splenium of corpus callosum, lingual occipital gyrus, and the tail of the hippocampus. Lacunar ischemia was found on the right side of cerebellum. The neuro-linguistic diagnostic protocol included the Mini Mental State Examination, Boston Diagnostic Aphasia Examination, Boston Naming Test and phonemic and category fluency tests. We have also designed a clinical protocol for color recognition assessment. The results showed a mild cognitive impairment related to the time and space orientation, delayed memory and reading. On the speech and language levels, a severe acquired alexia without agraphia was registered which was not associated with other language modalities. Conclusion. The neuro-linguistic tests and clinical techniques provide a rather reliable diagnostic criteria, which is the basis for neuro-rehabilitation. The rehabilitation protocol refers to training techniques: tactile-kinesthetic recognition of graphemes and application of various reading techniques, such as letter-by-letter reading, Multiple Oral Re-reading, melodic intonation therapy and oral reading technique in order to facilitate rehabilitation of reading.

Abstract:

Stroke is a leading cause of long-term disability. A stroke can damage areas of the brain associated with communication, resulting in speech and language disorders. Such disorders are frequently acquired impairments from left-hemispheric stroke. Music-based treatments have been implemented, and researched in practice, for the past thirty years; however, the number of published reports reviewing these treatments is limited. This paper uses the four elements of the narrative synthesis framework to investigate, scrutinise and synthesise music-based treatments used in the rehabilitation of patients with speech and language disorders. A systematic review revealed that fifteen studies meet the inclusion criteria set out. It was found that the music-based treatments utilised included: Melodic Intonation Therapy (MIT), Modified Melodic Intonation Therapy (MMIT), adapted forms of MIT, the Singing Intonation, Prosody, breathing (German: Atmung), Rhythm and Improvisation (SIPARI) method and a variety of methods using singing and songs. From a synthesis of the data, three themes emerged which were key elements of the interventions; they were: (a) singing songs and vocal exercises, (b) stimulating the right hemisphere and (c) use of speech prosody. These themes are discussed and implications for newly-qualified practitioners are explored.

Abstract:

Background: Even though the efficacy of melodic intonation therapy (MIT) with persons with aphasia (PWA) has been explored in different languages, the efficacy of MIT with Arabic-speaking PWA has never been explored. Aims: To explore the efficacy of MIT, adapted to Arabic, in promoting the expressive abilities of a 70-year-old Jordanian Arabic-speaking male subject with severe Broca’s aphasia 3 months post-onset. Methods: An 8-week MIT therapy programme with tapping (1.5 h daily, 6 days a week) was used in a multiple baseline design across two types of trained phrases (i.e. automatic and self-generated phrases). Outcome measures included accuracy of production of trained (at the end of each session) and untrained phrases (at the end of each week). Pre- and post-treatment measures used, were the bilingual aphasia test, the American Speech-Language Hearing Association Functional Assessment of Communicative Skills, the communicative effectiveness index and the American Speech and Hearing Association Quality of Communication Life Scale. Accuracy of production for the trained and untrained phrases was also measured 2 weeks and 4 weeks after the treatment programme was finished. Results: The patient, (MK), improved his expressive productions post-treatment in automatic and self-generated phrases. Automatic phrases exceeded the established 75% accuracy criterion, whereas the self-generated phrases reached criterion and remained constant at follow-up. Moreover, MK gradually started improving on the generalisation stimuli, once the treatment on the self-generated phrases started and maintained the gains 2 weeks and 4 weeks post-treatment. Conclusion: MIT appears to be a viable treatment option for Jordanian Arabic-speaking persons with Broca’s aphasia. However, more research is needed with larger groups of Jordanian Arabic-speaking persons with Broca’s aphasia to provide more support to the present findings. Moreover, future studies might focus on the efficacy of MIT with persons with Broca’s aphasia from different Arab countries and from countries where Arabic is part of the multicultural structure like South Africa and other countries on the African continent.
