How to recover from aphasia caused by cerebral infarction? Three exercise methods

Cerebral infarction is a life-threatening disease. During the treatment of cerebral infarction, patients are prone to speech disorders such as cerebral infarction aphasia. As for how to recover from aphasia caused by cerebral infarction as quickly as possible, you must pay attention to language training during the recovery period, and some physical therapies can also provide recovery.

1. Find the lost words

People with aphasia usually know what they want to say but just can't think of the specific words to express it. An expert from Sanzhen Cerebrovascular Disease Hospital said: "One strategy for finding lost words is to build a mental network about that word." For example, if you know what a cat is but can't remember how to say the word, it's effective to think of other things about cats, such as furry, meowing, four legs, and drinking milk. One thought will trigger another thought, which may eventually lead to the word "cat" appearing in the mind, first associating other related things, and then trying to remember the word.

2. Thumbs up

Communication is not just about language. Gestures and facial expressions can also help convey information. Try using different gestures when communicating with friends and family. An expert from Sanzhen Cerebrovascular Disease Hospital said: "We are often told not to point at people casually, as it is impolite, but if you can't say his name, it's understandable to point. If you want to join in the conversation but are slow to form complete sentences, you can use your fingers to convey the message and express your desire to speak."

3. Talk to the computer

"There are many new computer programs that allow patients to do exercises independently, without the presence of a specialist, and the content of the exercises can be fully applied to daily conversations," the expert said.
