Summary

This study compares two treatments for word-finding difficulty in Cantonese-speaking people with aphasia after a stroke. One treatment uses only words, the other adds gestures. 90 participants will try both treatments in two phases, with a month break in between. The goal is to see which approach better helps them name objects and improve communication.
