Memocorby Helps Patients With Communication Problems
Each year in Germany, approximately 250.000 people suffer a stroke. If the stroke occurs in the left side of the brain, it often causes aphasia, which is a disturbance of language use. With aphasia, the person has troubles understanding or expressing language, which can be frightening and frustrating.
Studies show that 80% of stroke patients and patients with speech disorders do not continue speech therapy after they are discharged to their homes.
