UNASSIGNED: Approximately 24% of @entity64 survivors experience co-occurring @entity2026 and @entity1269 . These individuals typically attend back-to-back therapy sessions. However, sequentially scheduled therapy may trigger physical and mental fatigue and have an adverse impact on treatment outcomes. The current study tested a hypothesis that exerting less effort during a therapy session would reduce overall fatigue and enhance functional recovery. Two @entity64 survivors chronically challenged by non-fluent @entity2026 and right @entity1269 sequentially completed verbal naming and upper-limb tasks on their home computers. The level of cognitive-linguistic effort in speech/language practice was manipulated by presenting verbal naming tasks in two conditions: Decreasing cues (i.e., most-to-least support for word retrieval), and Increasing cues (i.e., least-to-most support). The @entity1 completed the same upper-limb exercises throughout the study periods. Both individuals showed a statistically significant advantage of decreasing cues over increasing cues in word retrieval during the practice period, but not at the end of the practice period or thereafter. The @entity1 with moderate @entity2026 and @entity1269 achieved clinically meaningful gains in @entity3140 following the decreasing cues condition, but not after the increasing cues condition. Preliminary findings from the current study suggest a positive impact of decreasing cues in the context of @entity64 rehabilitation.

Cognitive-linguistic effort in XXXX rehabilitation: Decreasing vs. increasing cues for word retrieval.
