Assessment of Oral Language Retrieval in Broca’s Aphasia Resulting from Cerebrovascular Accident (CVA) (A Comparative Study Between Two Linguistically Treated Cases: One with Ischemic Cerebrovascular Accident (Ischemic CVA) and One with Hemorrhagic Ce

Abstract

This study aims to identify the difference in oral language retrieval (oral
comprehension / oral production) in Broca’s aphasia resulting from a hemorrhagic
cerebrovascular accident and Broca’s aphasia resulting from an ischemic
cerebrovascular accident. The study sample was intentionally selected and consisted of
two cases that underwent orthophonic care. To achieve the study’s objectives, the case
study method was adopted, and the following tools were used: observation grid,
interview questionnaire, and the MTA test. The results of the study, based on descriptive
statistics, showed that oral language retrieval (oral production / oral comprehension) in
Broca’s aphasia resulting from a hemorrhagic cerebrovascular accident was better
compared to Broca’s aphasia resulting from an ischemic cerebrovascular accident.
