Summary

This study looks at whether adding hand gestures to speech therapy helps Cantonese speakers with aphasia (a language problem after stroke) find words better than just talking alone. About 90 people with aphasia will try both methods in two phases, with a break in between. The goal is to see which approach improves naming and communication.
