摘要
五十九名經評估或治療並於出院後三至六個月再予以追蹤調查的失語症患者，依其發病至追蹤調查時距分成四組，以探討失語症患者的語言自發性恢復期，年齡、教育程度和嚴重度與語言恢復之關係，及語言治療的效果，分析結果得六點結論：（1）失語症患者發病後六個月內為重要的自發性恢復期，（2）年齡確與語言恢復的速率有關，年輕的患者語言恢復速率較年老者為快，（3）教育程度與語言恢復並無顯著關係，（4）失語症的嚴重度與語言恢復量或速率呈正比關係，嚴重的患者進步量比輕微者為多，（5）越嚴重的患者語言恢復程度越低，其所能達到的語言機能較輕微之患者為差，（6）語言治療確對患者有益，具臨床之價值。

Fifty-nine cases of aphasia, who had received speech evaluation and were followed up 3 to 6 months after treatment, were divided into four overlapping groups for evaluation. Attempts were made to determine the existence of a critical spontaneous recovery period, the effects of patient age and education level and severity of the disease on recovery form aphasia and the efficacy of speech therapy. The following conclusions were made: 1. The first 6 months after onset of aphasia was an important period for spontaneous recovery. 2. The age of the patients was correlated with recovery rates; the younger the patient the higher the initial recovery rate. 3. Education level seemed to have no significant influence on patient’s recovery. 4. There was a positive relationship between the severity of aphasia and the amount of improvement. 5. The severe cases recovered to a lesser extent and reached a lower level of speech function than the mid cases did. 6. The speech therapy had a definite therapeutic effect on these aphasics.
