Gender and recovery from aphasia after stroke.
Moderate and severely impaired poststroke aphasic patients followed in a rehabilitation medicine program were systematically examined initially between 4 and 6 months poststroke and again between one and 2 1/2 years postonset. No gender differences were found on ratings of everyday communication function or certain measures of language, specifically auditory comprehension and the spontaneous generation of spoken words.
