Aim of the research is to determine the relationship between brain lesion location after stroke, with ability to understand speech and language in patients with damaged communication. The sample is 135 patients. For estimation of understanding of speech Boston Diagnostic Aphasia Examination (BDAE), during the first two months after the stroke, was used. The average age of patients was 66.8 years. Males are prevalent than female. Brain lesions are found at 35 locations. Capacity for auditory comprehension of words is 61.5% in average; auditory understanding of body parts is 66.55%; understanding of orders is 59.11%, and understanding of complex ideational material is 51.91%. The most frequent in the sample were patients with lesions of the left cerebrum hemisphere who also achieved the weakest results. The most frequent were lesions of left hemisphere sites: front temporal, front parietal temporal, parietal temporal, temporal, "area irrigation ACM", temporal occipital, frontal parietal, frontal and insula. Results of auditory comprehension of speech and language depends on the location of brain lesions. Patients with damage to the temporal lobe of the brain, in isolation or in combination with neighboring regions, achieve the lowest test scores. Keywords: aphasia, stroke, location of brain impairment, speech disorders Napomena: kompletan tekst rada na srpskom jeziku Note: full text in Serbian |
