Examining telepractice screening tests for post-stroke aphasia.
What is it about?
Screening tests foster quick and convenient identifications of post-stroke aphasia. It is crucial to develop an online screening protocol for those individuals who are unable to visit an institute or a clinic due to their stroke-induced disabilities. This study provided initial steps towards a newly developed telepractice screening protocol that includes both language and cognitive performance-based and patient-reported tasks.
Why is it important?
This telepractice screening protocol yielded effective and feasible results to identify people with post-stroke aphasia. Moderate to strong relaitonships were noted between the screening tests, as well as highly rated feasibility responses. Further validation of this novel screening protocol may identify a more simple and convenient way to afford individuals with the necessary services in a timely manner.
