[Evaluation of language therapy in aphasia after stroke]

In 27 patients with aphasia and hemiparesis following strokes speech was tested before and after completion of sanatorium treatment. After three weeks of speech re-education aphasia improved in various degrees in 19 patients. The best results of logopedic treatment were obtained in patients with medium-grade or slight aphasia subjected to rehabilitation treatment during the first three months after stroke. Effective motor rehabilitation conducted parallelly with re-education exercises in early period after stroke has a favourable effect on advance in therapy and later resocialization of patients.
