Speech impairment (aphasia) caused by stroke is mostly associated with damage to the Broca's area in the brain. This type of aphasia is called Broca's aphasia. However, many other types of aphasia may arise from neurological damage. Check the Wikipedia page for 'Aphasia' for more details.

What types of rehabilitation are available to stroke patients?

Post-stroke rehabilitation varies depending on the part of the brain damaged during a stroke. Patients first receive therapy in the first 24 to 48 hours after their stroke, as soon as they are stabilized. Patients are helped and encouraged to move, dress, bathe, and toilet on their own. Patients can continue to receive recreational, occupational, vocational, and physical therapies. They may need to relearn how to speak with speech therapists.
