Abstract
Vascular events represent the third cause of death and are also one of the main causes of disability in adulthood. Among the most frequent cognitive sequelae are the aphasia. There is a need to carry out clinical interventions that allow the person with aphasia to rehabilitate language, have quality of life and return to their usual activities. The functional reorganization approach of A. R. Luria proposes that after brain injury cognitive abilities are disorganized, but that through a neuropsychological intervention they can be recovered, at least partially. It is essential to restructure the lost ability and make a change in the psychophysiological structure. We present the case of a 44-year-old man who, after a cerebral infarction, was diagnosed with mixed aphasia: Broca and conduction aphasia. A rehabilitation program based on the functional reorganization approach was started. After 60 sessions, an improvement in automatic language, repetition, naming, and spontaneous language was observed. Likewise, independence for daily activities, family and social interaction increased.
