To examine the correlation between an impairment-level and a functional-level assessment scale of aphasia.
Prospective, longitudinal study.
A stroke rehabilitation unit.
Sixty-seven aphasic acute stroke patients who were undergoing a multi-disciplinary rehabilitation programme, including conventional speech and language therapy (SLT).
Patients were assessed on study entry and 4, 8, 12 and 24 weeks after the start of SLT. The language impairment was assessed with the Western Aphasia Battery (WAB) and the communicative functional limitation associated with aphasia was measured with the Communicative Effectiveness Index (CETI).Results. There was a statistically significant correlation between the two scales for all assessment periods (Pearson's r=0.71; P<0.01).
The study suggests that in the acute and subacute stages of stroke the scores of WAB and CETI can be surmised from one another.
研究失语症损伤水平评估量表与功能水平评估量表之间的相关性。
前瞻性纵向研究。
一家中风康复单元。
67名急性中风失语症患者,他们正在接受包括传统言语和语言治疗(SLT)在内的多学科康复计划。
在研究开始时以及SLT开始后的4、8、12和24周对患者进行评估。使用西方失语症成套测验(WAB)评估语言损伤,并使用沟通有效性指数(CETI)测量与失语症相关的沟通功能限制。结果。在所有评估阶段,两个量表之间均存在统计学上的显著相关性(Pearson相关系数r = 0.71;P <0.01)。
该研究表明,在中风的急性和亚急性阶段,WAB和CETI的分数可以相互推测。
