Objective: To assess preliminarily the outcome of language recovery in post cerebral stroke patients. Subject and method: 31 patients with cerebral stroke, mean age 64.32 ± 13.42 (years), with average receptive aphasia 12.84 ± 7.4; expressive aphasia 6.05 ± 8.24; reading disorder 0.9 ± 1.6; writing disorder 1.36 ± 2.22 points. Result: The average treatment time were 9.23 ± 4.58 (times) corresponding to 185 - 277 minutes, the patients had significant improvements, with an average increase in receptive aphasia was 2.66 ± 2.01; expressive aphasia 3.26 ± 3.49; ability to read 0.58 ± 0.85; ability to write 0.45 ± 0.91 points with p<0.05; severity of receptive language disorder decreased from 35.5% to 16.1% (p=0.003); severe expressive disorders decreased from 77.4% to 54.8% with p=0.001; severe reading disorder decreased from 80.6% to 64.5% with p=0.001; severe writing disorder decreased from 71.0% to 61.3% with p<0.001. Conclusion: Speech therapy helps to promote language rehabilitation in post stroke patients.
