The effect of event-related potentials N400 in rehabilitation for patients with post-stroke aphasia / 中国基层医药

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the siqnificance of event related potential(ERP) N400 on stroke patients with aphasia and provide theoretical basis for clinical operations.Methods 29 stroke patients with aphasia(aphasia group) and 58 stroke patients without aphasia(control group) were selected,which were examined with N400.The latency and amplitude of N400 were compared between the two groups.Results The difference waves' latency and amplitude of aphasia group were longer and higher than those of control group.The difference had statistical significance (all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion N400 is a significant marker for the language disturbance of aphasia patients.
