Implication

Randomized trial shows continued language recovery in individuals with chronic aphasia, indicating the potential for late improvements.

Key Points

The aim is to explore if individuals with aphasia from left-hemisphere strokes show gains in language abilities long after their stroke and to identify which areas improve the most.
Participants with chronic aphasia due to left-hemisphere stroke were evaluated for language ability improvements beyond six months post-stroke.
Behavioral assessments were used to measure language abilities across various domains.
Individuals showed measurable improvements in language abilities in multiple domains during the chronic recovery phase.
Certain behavioral domains exhibited particularly robust recovery, indicating specific areas of potential growth.
