ABSTRACT

Post-stroke aphasia is an acquired language disorder caused by stroke.It impaired the quality of life of patients and brought a heavy burden to family and the society.Unfortunately,the highly variable predictive factors make the prognosis of aphasia recovery difficult.Much of the researches indicated that the post-stroke aphasia recovery is associated with the patient-related and stroke-related factors.We searched the recent advances on the influence of patient-related factors and stroke-related factors on aphasia recovery.It showed that patient-related factors have no obvious effect on predicting aphasia recovery while the lesion (stroke)-related factors appeared close correlation with post-stroke aphasia recovery.The clinicians should pay more attention on lesion (stroke)-related factors when evaluate the outcome and give the intervention measures.
