Outcomes of an App-Based Intervention to Target Naming Among Individuals With Poststroke Aphasia: Virtual Randomized Controlled Trial
Individuals with aphasia who used the VoiceAdapt app for 5 weeks to target naming skills demonstrated measurable gains in naming and communication-based quality of life. Notably, these changes were observed in a remotely delivered program, in participants who were in the chronic stages of aphasia. These findings inform the profession on the use of app-based home therapy programs as an accessible, cost-effective option for individuals in the chronic stages of recovery who often have limited options for rehabilitation.
