Synergistic effects of combined motor and language interventions on stroke rehabilitation: a holistic approach.

Background: Stroke patients typically suffer from a range of symptoms, such as motor and language impairments, due to shared neural networks. The recovery process after stroke is intricate and requires a comprehensive approach. While previous studies have investigated the motor and language interventions independently, this study aimed to explore the relationship between these domains and compared the effectiveness of individual interventions versus their combined use.
