Translated Title

失語症患者語言恢復之研究

Abstract

Fifty-nine cases of aphasia, who had received speech evaluation and were followed up 3 to 6 months after treatment, were divided into four overlapping groups for evaluation. Attempts were made to determine the existence of a critical spontaneous recovery period, the effects of patient age and education level and severity of the disease on recovery form aphasia and the efficacy of speech therapy. The following conclusions were made:1. The first 6 months after onset of aphasia was an important period for spontaneous recovery. 2. The age of the patients was correlated with recovery rates; the younger the patient the higher the initial recovery rate. 3. Education level seemed to have no significant influence on patient’s recovery. 4. There was a positive relationship between the severity of aphasia and the amount of improvement. 5. The severe cases recovered to a lesser extent and reached a lower level of speech function than the mid cases did. 6. The speech therapy had a definite therapeutic effect on these aphasics.
