Technology-Based Rehabilitation to Improve Communication after Acquired Brain
  Injury
From: Frontiers in Neuroscience
By: Carrie A. Des Roches and Swathi Kiran

The utilization of technology has allowed for several advances in aphasia
rehabilitation for individuals with acquired brain injury. Thirty-one
previous studies that provide technology-based language or language and
cognitive rehabilitation are examined in terms of the domains addressed, the
types of treatments that were provided, details about the methods and the
results, including which types of outcomes are reported. From this, we
address questions about how different aspects of the delivery of treatment
can influence rehabilitation outcomes, such as whether the treatment was
standardized or tailored, whether the participants were prescribed homework
or not, and whether intensity was varied. Results differed by these aspects
of treatment delivery but ultimately the studies demonstrated consistent
improvement on various outcome measures. With these aspects of
technology-based treatment in mind, the ultimate goal of personalized
rehabilitation is discussed.
