Brief Summary:
Aphasia is a language impairment caused by brain injury such as stroke that affects the ability to understand and express language read and write due to damage in the language regions of the brain Non-invasive brain stimulation NIBS techniques like transcranial direct-current stimulation tDCS have been found to improve aphasia treatment effects in post stroke patient populations such as improved naming abilities
However the effect of tDCS on more functional higher level language skills such as discourse production ie story telling giving instructions has yet to be understoodTherefore the aim of this study is to determine the potential effectiveness of tDCS as an adjunct to speech and language therapy SLT to improve discourse speech production in people with post-stroke aphasia It is hypothesised that SLT combined with tDCS will result in greater improvements in discourse language production compared to SLT on its own
