A Review of Chinese Aphasia Assessment Batteries

Abstract

Aphasia is a language impairment caused by brain damage. Accurately assessing the language ability of aphasia patients is crucial for developing effective rehabilitation plans. This paper aims to explore the current status and improvement directions of the Chinese aphasia assessment batteries. Firstly, this paper reviews the main study on aphasia assessment batteries both domestically and internationally. Then, the widely used aphasia assessment batteries, both domestically and internationally were introduced in this paper. Furthermore, this paper provides a detailed analysis of the characteristics of current Chinese aphasia assessment batteries. Finally, based on the above research, this paper proposes several improvement suggestions for the Chinese aphasia assessment batteries. For example, appropriate assessment batteries need to be developed for patients of different ages. At the same time, considering the diversity of Chinese dialects, more dialect assessment batteries should be developed in the future to improve the accuracy of the assessment. In addition, the impact of educational background on cognitive ability cannot be ignored. Therefore, the content and difficulty level of assessing materials need to be adjusted according to the patient’s educational level. By making some suggestions for the improvement of the aphasia assessment batteries in China, this paper aims to make some efforts to improve the accuracy and practicability of the aphasia assessment batteries and promote more effective personalized treatment for Chinese aphasia patients.
