“…In addition, use of gesture had an inverse correlation with severity of IMA in that persons with severe IMA had decreased ability to use gestures. Feyereisen, Bouchat, Dery, & Ruiz (1990) reported that persons with nonfluent aphasia produce more gestures, as a compensatory strategy, than control participants. However, the effects of IMA on gestural communication was not analyzed because all participants in this particular study had only mild IMA as opposed to varying degrees of severity.…”

This study examined the effects of aphasia and ideomotor apraxia on conversational gesture. Participants included 8 neurologically normal control participants and 12 participants having aphasia from a single left-hemisphere stroke. Testing included the Western Aphasia Battery (Kertesz, 1982), the Florida Apraxia Battery (Rothi et al., 1992), and scoring of conversational gesture. Statistical findings using a between-group analysis of variance revealed a statistically significant difference in quantity and type of gestures used between experimental and control participants. Within the experimental participants, there was a clear relationship between severity of aphasia and conversational gesture, but not between severity of ideomotor apraxia and conversational gesture. Therefore, severity of aphasia appears to be a better predictor than severity of ideomotor apraxia for the production of spontaneous gesture.
