This investigation reports the results of a pilot study concerning the application of principles of use-dependent learning developed in the motor rehabilitation literature as Constraint Induced Therapy to language rehabilitation in a group of individuals with chronic aphasia. We compared treatment that required forced use of the language modality, Constraint Induced Language Therapy, (CILT) to treatment allowing all modes of communication. Both treatments were administrated intensively in a massed practice paradigm, using the same therapeutic stimuli and tasks. Results suggest that whereas both interventions yielded positive outcomes, CILT participants showed more consistent improvement on standard aphasia measures and clinician judgments of narrative discourse. These findings suggest that CILT intervention may be a viable approach to aphasia rehabilitation.
本研究报告了一项初步研究的结果，该研究涉及将运动康复文献中发展起来的使用依赖学习原则作为强制性诱导疗法应用于一组慢性失语症患者的语言康复。我们将要求强制使用语言模式的治疗方法，即强制性诱导语言治疗（CILT），与允许所有交流方式的治疗方法进行了比较。两种治疗方法均采用集中练习范式进行强化治疗，使用相同的治疗刺激和任务。结果表明，虽然两种干预措施都产生了积极效果，但CILT组的参与者在标准失语症测量和临床医生对叙述性话语的判断上表现出更持续的改善。这些发现表明，CILT干预可能是一种可行的失语症康复方法。
