Revisión sistemática en el síndrome del acento extranjero: Intervención y terapia del lenguaje

Abstract

The main objective of this research is to study the scientific literature concerning the treatment in the field of the speech therapy or therapeutic treatment of language in 'Foreign Accent Syndrome' (FAS). It was performed with a systematic review of all the documents (with more than a page of length) available from 2001 to 2015, both inclusive. These documents were retrieved from all the databases belonging to, or incorporated into, the Web of Science (including Medline), ERIC and TESEO. Eight references were selected, five of them were included because those fulfilling the inclusion criteria proposed. After a detailed analysis of those references, were presented the different treatments of language applied or proposed for the patients diagnosed with FAS. Nowadays we found a great ignorance about what concerned the clinical practice of rehabilitation. This will enable a greater interdisciplinary perspective, as well as a new knowledge point of view, for language professionals in some processes or therapeutic techniques that could help to support the recovery.
