I can't comprehend this so ask your speech therapist how the hell you constrain this.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The trend towards a shorter stay in
rehabilitation clinic has implications for future language therapy.
Constraint-induced aphasia therapy (CIAT) is administered 3 h per day
for a total of 30 h of treatment. It was evaluated for patients with
chronic aphasia. In the present study we investigated the efficacy of a
modified CIAT schedule and included patients with sub-acute stroke. We
conducted a randomised, single-blind, parallel-group study. The results
were compared to those of patients who received identically intensive
treatment focusing on conventional aphasia therapy.
METHODS Fifty patients were treated with our modified version of CIAT
and 50 received a standard aphasia therapy at the same intensity and
duration. Inclusion criteria were clinical diagnosis of first-ever
stroke, aphasia in the sub-acute stage and German speakers. Language
function was evaluated using the Aachen Aphasia Test and the
Communicative Activity Log directly before therapy onset, after the
training period and at 8-week and 1-year follow-ups.
RESULTS Patients of both groups improved significantly in all
sub-tests of the Aachen Aphasia Test Battery. The improvements remained
stable over a 1-year follow-up period. Patients and relatives of both
groups rated daily communication as significantly improved after
therapy.
CONCLUSIONS Both CIAT and conventional therapy performed with equal
intensity are efficacious methods for patients with sub-acute aphasia.
The modified CIAT schedule is practical in an everyday therapeutic
setting. Our results indicate that a short-term intensive therapy
schedule in the early aphasia stage leads to substantial improvements in
language functions.

Use the labels in the right column to find what you want. Or you can go thru them one by one, there are only 28,972 posts. Searching is done in the search box in upper left corner. I blog on anything to do with stroke.DO NOT DO ANYTHING SUGGESTED HERE AS I AM NOT MEDICALLY TRAINED, YOUR DOCTOR IS, LISTEN TO THEM. BUT I BET THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO GET YOU 100% RECOVERED. I DON'T EITHER, BUT HAVE PLENTY OF QUESTIONS FOR YOUR DOCTOR TO ANSWER.
Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain! trillions and trillions of neurons that DIE each day because there are NO effective hyperacute therapies besides tPA(only 12% effective). I have 523 posts on hyperacute therapy, enough for researchers to spend decades proving them out. These are my personal ideas and blog on stroke rehabilitation and stroke research. Do not attempt any of these without checking with your medical provider. Unless you join me in agitating, when you need these therapies they won't be there.
What this blog is for:
My blog is not to help survivors recover, it is to have the 10 million yearly stroke survivors light fires underneath their doctors, stroke hospitals and stroke researchers to get stroke solved. 100% recovery. The stroke medical world is completely failing at that goal, they don't even have it as a goal. Shortly after getting out of the hospital and getting NO information on the process or protocols of stroke rehabilitation and recovery I started searching on the internet and found that no other survivor received useful information. This is an attempt to cover all stroke rehabilitation information that should be readily available to survivors so they can talk with informed knowledge to their medical staff. It lays out what needs to be done to get stroke survivors closer to 100% recovery. It's quite disgusting that this information is not available from every stroke association and doctors group.
