Right hemisphere strokes: Describe the clinical profiles of cognitive impairment
For over 10 years, the team has been working on the clinical description of communication disorders following a right hemispheric stroke. From a large sample in Quebec and internationally, clinical profiles of affected communication have been defined. These profiles are examined in relation to different variables -sociodemographic, lesional, executive concomitantes- to clarify the inter-individual variability after a right hemisphere stroke and to improve treatment services for this population.
Right hemisphere strokes: pragmatic metacognitive intervention
A scientific consensus now exists for the presence of disorders of communication in a consecutive right brain damage. However, the speech-language remediation of these disorders is still nascent and the level of evidence is weak. We study the benefit of a system based on the principles of meta-cognitive remediation to perform the pragmatic behavior to a functional conversation. By allowing professionals of validated therapeutic methods, this project focuses on tangible clinical benefits.
