Advanced Recovery Rehabilitation Center in Sherman Oaks has been awarded a trademark for its treatment protocol for aphasia, a language problem linked to stroke and head injuries. Aphasia Rehabilitation with Re-learning using Constraint Principles is the first trademarked aphasia treatment approach based on Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy. The protocol was originally based on findings in a German study published in 2001. Over the last four years, Advanced Recovery refined the approach for use in an outpatient rehab clinic, according to the company.
