Article Synopsis
- This ICAP program is a collaborative, 6-week intensive treatment designed for individuals with post-stroke aphasia, focusing on maximizing recovery and participation in daily activities.
- The study, based on data from 2015-2019, evaluated pre- and post-treatment outcomes across four WHO ICF domains, showing significant improvements in communication and self-perception of participation.
- Findings suggest that intensive, interprofessional rehabilitation programs are effective for people with moderate-to-severe aphasia, with notable benefits for both responders and non-responders in self-reported measures.
Predictors of feeding gastrostomy tube removal in stroke patients with dysphagia.
J Stroke Cerebrovasc Dis
November 2007
Dysphagia is a common consequence of stroke, estimated to be present in 25% to 50% of the stroke rehabilitation population. Relatively few data exist concerning outcome following insertion of feeding gastrostomy/jejunostomy tubes (FGT) in stroke patients with dysphagia. Our aim was to identify variables predictive of FGT removal.

Those patients with severe neurogenic oropharyngeal dysphagia (NOD) may receive feeding gastrostomy tubes (FGT) if noninvasive therapies prove ineffective in eliminating aspiration or sustaining adequate nutritional intake. Our aim was to quantify the recovery of swallowing function, and to identify variables predictive of survival after dysphagic stroke requiring FGT placement.
