SIPARI®
on
language
and
speech
motor
capabilities,
and
associated
reorganization
in
patients
with
chronic
aphasia
and
apraxia
of
speech
is
carried
out
in
(Prof.
Binkofski,
Prof.
Huber)
and
the
Brain
Imaging
Facility
of
the
Interdisciplinary
Centre
for
Clinical
Research at the University Hospital Aachen.
Our
recent
study
with
patients
suffering
from
chronic
aphasia
and
apraxia
of
speech
already
demonstrated
that
after
50
SIPARI®
sessions
activation
changed
to
left-hemisphere
regions
round
the
lesion
(extended
black
area)
correlating
with
significant
improvements
of
language
capabilities
(assessed
by
the
Aachener
Aphasie
Test).
Please

for

the
results
of
one
participant
of
the
study
in
a
3D-model.

The
SIPARI®
therapy
was
developed
by
