[Diagnosis and therapy of geriatric aphasia patients following cerebrovascular stroke].
Aphasia is common in elderly patients with stroke. This paper presents some results of aphasia therapy within the activation phase (acute aphasia) and the syndrome-specific learning phase (until the 24th week of treatment). A phase-specific therapeutic concept was developed to connect stimulation and cirumvention method and compensatory techniques. The results attest to the success early after stroke regarding development of speech pathology logopedic diagnosis and therapy.
