Lesion site and therapy time predict responses to a therapy for anomia after stroke: a prognostic model development study

Abstract Stroke is a leading cause of disability, and language impairments (aphasia) after stroke are both common and particularly feared. Most stroke survivors with aphasia exhibit anomia (difficulties with naming common objects), but while many therapeutic interventions for anomia have been propos...
