Wernicke’s VS Broca’s Aphasia

Wernicke’s VS Broca’s Aphasia

In Wernicke’s aphasia, the ability to understand the meaning of spoken words and sentences is impaired. Producing speech is not very affected. Therefore Wernicke’s aphasia is also referred to as ‘fluent aphasia’ or ‘receptive aphasia’.

Broca’s (Expressive)

Individuals with Broca’s aphasia have trouble speaking fluently but their comprehension is relatively preserved. This type of aphasia is also known as non-fluent or expressive aphasia.
Patients have difficulty producing grammatical sentences and their speech is limited mainly to short utterances of less than four words.

Self Range of Motion Home Exercise Program

Self range of motion is the next step for increasing arm recovery after stroke once a stroke survivor has gained enough strength in the strong arm to lift the weak arm. It stretches muscles, joints, nerves, and fascia. It also improves proprioception, the sense of where the arm is and how it is positioned, to help the brain reconnect. It is best done with the patient lying down on a bed so gravity can actually help regain full range of motion. All of the exercises can also be done in sitting up in a support chair.

Johnny Appleseed of Aphasia

My name is Tom Broussard, and in the aphasia community, I am often referred to as the Johnny Appleseed of Aphasia Awareness. I had my first stroke and aphasia on September 26, 2011. I was an associate dean at The Heller School at Brandeis University when I fell down on Main Street, Waltham, MA. I lost my language and could not read, write or speak well.

Not really sure what the issue.
