Social network structure in young stroke survivors with aphasia: a case series report.
The purpose of this study was to profile the social networks of four young adult stroke survivors with aphasia. Results showed that pre-stroke friendships were dissolved or reduced at the onset of aphasia. The most impaired persons with aphasia spent most of their days in isolation without a consistent communication partner. This study result suggests that young adult stroke survivors with aphasia have significant changes in their social network structure after stroke, but it is unclear if the observed change in social network structure is more related to age or level of communication impairment.
