Summary

This study aims at contributing with scientific evidence to the field of aphasia telerehabilitation. In Norway today, there is an unmet need for language training in post stroke aphasia and not all patients are offered language training. Early start of aphasia rehabilitation and satisfying intensity do not seem to be standard clinical practice. Language training by telemedicine could improve this situation, and this study seeks to answer the question whether aphasia rehabilitation delivered by videoconference can improve language function in aphasia post stroke.
