Speech, Phonation Evaluation and Intervention Effect in Dysarthria / 中国康复理论与实践

@#ObjectiveTo explore the characteristics and rehabilitation of dysarthria patients who speak mandarin. Methods18 patients were rehabilitated with physiologic approach for 40 d. Before and after rehabilitation, maximum phonation time (MPT), frequency, tone and expiratory rate were tested with phonolaryngeal graph, while forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1), maximum midexpiratory flow (MMF), peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR) were tested with Microspiro; Articulation and intelligibility were tested with mandarin words table and rate of sentence and paragraph. ResultsCompared with that before intervention, MPT of the patients were longer after intervention (P<0.05). The FVC was lower than normal rate before intervention and it was remarkable higher after intervention(P<0.01).Correct rate of sentence and paragraph was remarkable higher(P<0.01). ConclusionTests of Phono-laryngograph, Microspiro and correct rate of sentence are good comprehensive evaluation methods to speech and phonation of dysarthria. Physiologic approach to rehabilitation can remarkably improve patient's communication ability.

Reliability and validity of Chinese Rehabilitation Research Center Standard Aphasia Examination / 中国康复理论与实践

@#ObjectiveTo investigate the reliability and validity of Chinese Rehabilitation Research Center Standard Aphasia Examination (CRRCAE) among patients with aphasia after cerebral injury. Methods40 patients were measured using the CRRCAE. For reliability, interclass correlation coefficients were analyzed. For validity, the correlation coefficients of the aphasia quotients and 4 items of CRRCAE and Western Aphasia Battery (WAB) were analyzed.ResultsThe interclass correlation coefficients>0.9, while the Cronbach α of total scale was 0.9411, the scale of the comprehension was 0.8677,the scale of express was 0.8889. CRRCAE had positive relationship with WAB(with the aphasia quotients, r=0.948,P<0.01). The effect size statistics scale was 0.94.ConclusionCRRCAE shows a good retest reliability and good internal consistency. The total scale of CRRCAE can be correlated with serious level of aphasia effectively.

Introduction to Chinese Standard Aphasia Examination / 中国康复理论与实践

@#The Chinese Standard Aphasia Examination was made according to Chinese language and cultural habits by referring to Japanese Standard Language Test of Aphasia.151 normal people and patients whose brain damaged without aphasia were tested.Mean and standard deviations were calculated.The significant differences were not found by analysis of variance to age,sex,handedness,profession and education except oral instruction and describing pictures in different educational groups.Therefore,the examination is suitable for Chinese aphasics who live in different parts of China and spoken mandarin.
