Primary progressive aphasia is a neurodegenerative clinical syndrome with predominant speech and language dysfunction. There are currently no curative or symptomatic pharmacological treatments. Speech and Language Therapy represents the optimum treatment to maximise communication skills for patients withprimary progressive aphasia. There are multiple therapeutic strategies available for speech-language pathologists, which are aimed at concrete deficits, or which arefunctionally aimed strategies. This article summarises a review of the therapeutic strategies for primary progressive aphasia and the...

Viktorie Hedvika Plawná, Lucie Nohová, Kateřina Vitásková

Listy klinické logopedie 2022, 6(2):21-26 | DOI: 10.36833/lkl.2022.0231115  

Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) threatens a large percentage of the elderly population worldwide. Symptoms can also include language and speech difficulties. This article aims at speech/language comprehension difficulties at the sentence level in people with MCI, with the use of a case study. Sentence comprehension was examined in a female patient with amnestic MCI, by means of the Czech version of the Sentence Comprehension Test. Impaired comprehension of all sentence types was found, with a high need for repetition, as well as the influence of sentence complexity. The results show that limited cognitive resources are a reason for insufficient linguistic...

Overview of Risk Factors for Dementia

Simona Hlaváčová

Listy klinické logopedie 2022, 6(2):27-33 | DOI: 10.36833/lkl.2022.0242078  

Dementia is a complex syndrome with a rapidly growing global incidence. It has a dramatic impact, not only on the life of the patient who has been diagnosed, butalso on the lives of his or her loved ones. At the same time, the costs associated with dementia are significantly higher than the costs of other major diseases. Research confirms that the elimination of known modifiable risk factors can lead to a potential significant reduction in the incidence of dementia.In the absence of effective treatment, knowledge of the risk factors and primary prevention are essential measures for global public health....

Listy klinické logopedie 2022, 6(2):34-41 | DOI: 10.36833/lkl.2022.0251979  

Spatial neglect (SN) is a heterogeneous syndrome that occurs in individuals after acquired brain injury. It is a disorder of spatial attention, with a negative impact on the individual's functional status and independence psychosocial abilities, with adverse effects on rehabilitation outcomes.SN can be observed during reading and writing tasks in the Speech and Language Therapist's office. Because of the great variability of SN symptoms, it has been suggested that complex diagnostic methods for SN assessment should be utilised.The choice of the appropriate diagnostic tools can be key in revealing...

Listy klinické logopedie 2022, 6(2):42-48 | DOI: 10.36833/lkl.2022.0311066  

Speech disorders in adult patients are accompanying symptoms in a number of diagnostic categories, especially neurological (e.g. neurodegenerative diseases, stroke). The vast majority of Neuropsychologists will encounter speech disorders during their clinical practice. In this paper, we present a case report of a patient in whom speech disorders meet with other cognitive and behavioural symptoms.

Ilona Bytešníková, Filip Smolík

Listy klinické logopedie 2022, 6(2):50-55 | DOI: 10.36833/lkl.2022.0093851  

The aim of this work is to inform Clinical Speech Therapists and other experts of the significance of early detection of deficits in language skills’ development via parental questionnaires. Parental questionnaires have been used efficiently in several foreign countries for many years. Even what are called the “brief versions” of parental questionnaires are significant for the early detection of children with delays/impairments in their language development. The article introduces a screening diagnostic tool for the early assessment of the level of receptive and productive language. Launching the said tool into practice can facilitate...

Barbora Červenková

Listy klinické logopedie 2022, 6(2):56-61 | DOI: 10.36833/lkl.2022.0183279  

Due to its complex nature, speech can be divided into four basic linguistic levels (phonetic-phonological, lexical-semantic, morphological-syntactic, and pragmatic).  Within the linguistically oriented directions, we have recently seen an increased interest in the field of Pragmalinguistics. However, Clinical Speech Therapy publications devoted to the pragmatic language level and difficulties in the field of social pragmatic communication are still lacking. The diagnosis of Social (Pragmatic) Communication Disorder has recently been included in the DSM-V diagnostic manual of the American Psychiatric Society (APA). The diagnosis of Developmental Language...
