| Popis: | Background: Although the effectiveness of melodic intonation therapy (MIT) has been demonstrated in poststroke aphasia, its use in Spanish-speaking countries is practically nonexistent, primarily due to the therapy not having been adapted to Spanish.Aims: To develop a Spanish version of MIT and to evaluate its feasibility in patients with nonfluent aphasia after an ischemic stroke.Methods & Procedures: The study was performed in two phases: the first phase involved creation of a Spanish adaptation of MIT; the second phase consisted of a pilot intervention study to analyse its feasibility for use with Spanish patients with poststroke nonfluent aphasia. We recruited patients with aphasia due to a first ischemic stroke more than 6 months before inclusion in the study and who had received a standard programme of conventional language therapy after the stroke. The duration of the MIT was 18 sessions performed over a 6-week period. Each session lasted 30 min per patient and was performed by a language-e... |
