Aphasia does not only affect the person himself. It is also quite an adjustment for the immediate environment. It is important to go through the process together and to find a new way to communicate. The following tips can help you on your way:

• Take your time, speak slowly and support your words with gestures.
• Do not muddle through.
• Avoid elaborate descriptions and long sentences.
• Don't constantly try to correct language. Don't pretend you understood when you didn't.
• Use simple yes/no questions and don't force a conversation.

• Motor aphasia (Broca): problem with language production. Speaking, reading aloud and writing are difficult.
• Sensory aphasia (Wernicke): problem with language comprehension. What other people say is difficult to understand. Problems with language production may also occur.
• Global aphasia (Broca + Wernicke): with global aphasia, you can barely speak, read or write and have many problems understanding spoken language.
• Anomic aphasia: result of smaller brain lesions or enhancement of a Broca or Wernicke aphasia. The problem is mainly in speaking, while language comprehension is reasonably intact.

An ergospirometry (or cycling test) is a test to measure your exercise capacity and requires maximum physical effort. The test is performed on an ergometer bike during which various cardiac and respiratory parameters are recorded. This gives us information about your physical condition and more clarity about a possible cause of reduced performance capacity.

The test is performed only at the request of a physician.

It is best not to store an opened bottle of water in the refrigerator for more than 24 hours. After feeding, rinse the bottle well with detergent and hot water and let it drain on a clean towel or in a bottle rack. Sterilizing the bottle is only necessary if your baby was born prematurely or if he has a reduced immunity. It is best to sterilize new bottles before their first use.
