Abstract
There
is ample agreement in the scientific literature, across diverse areas
of study, that suggests that language and movement are interrelated. In
particular, it is widely held that the upper limb and hand play a key
role in language use. Aphasia, a common, disabling language disorder
frequently associated with stroke, requires new restorative methods. A
combinatorial hand-arm-language paradigm that capitalizes on shared
neural networks may therefore prove beneficial for aphasia recovery in
stroke patients and requires further exploration.
