What to do about aphasia symptoms after a stroke

Aphasia is one of the common symptoms after stroke, so the rehabilitation training of aphasia is an important part of stroke treatment. 1. Rehabilitation training of oral expression ability: Firstly, we need to train the tongue muscle, facial muscle, soft constriction and vocal folds, so as to restore the function of speech muscles. The easiest way to train pronunciation is to combine with daily life to make the patient talk with others. 2. Rehabilitation of listening comprehension disorder is to teach patients to see the connection between lip and mouth movements and sound when the trainer pronounces words, and to match with objects or diagrams in order to achieve the purpose of comprehension. 3.Rehabilitation training for word comprehension: let the patient look at objects or pictures, or read aloud training by pointing to the words and repeating them. 4. Rehabilitation training of writing: it should start from writing the patient’s name, gradually to copying words and phrases, until writing short essays with the left hand. 5, language rehabilitation training is best carried out at home with the help of family members. As there is no interference and it can be combined with daily life, it is more effective than in the hospital. The social and cultural backgrounds of the elderly stroke victims are different, so the language rehabilitation training should be carried out on a one-to-one basis. Nursing care should be done with love and dedication. 1. Try your best to understand everything the patient says; 2. Speak slowly and clearly; 3. Use gestures to express your thoughts; 4.
