Prognostic criteria of speech rehabilitation in patients with sequelae after ischemic stroke
: Structural analysis concerning a complex of both neuropsychologic and clinical data of the patients with sequelae of ischemic stroke was performed. It was revealed, that a character of the local alterations of electric activity (EA) on EEG, testifying a functional state of cerebral structures, was an important prognostic criterion of the efficiency of neurorehabilitation. The local EA changes in form of groups of theta-waves and sharp waves of alpha- and theta-activities were prognostically favourable signs; meanwhile polymorphic slow-wave was unfavourable background for performing a restorative education. An analysis of the speech disorders revealed that both semantic and dynamic aphasias occur more frequently after ischemic stroke. A semantic aphasia was always accompanied by the dynamic one and each form may be both leading and secondary. It may be dependent on location of a focus (according to EEG) as well as on the character and manifestation of the accompanying neuropsychologic symptomatology.
