    Abstract:
    No standardized assessment of aphasic symptoms for stroke patients in the acute phase has as yet been published in the German language. Current test batteries such as the AAT are too time-consuming and cannot be performed on severely impaired patients. A short test for the examination of aphasic and dysarthric symptoms has been developed which contains 7 subtests in three main areas: spontaneous speech, comprehension and planning of movements, speech and language abilities. Since abilities in acute cases may only be functionally impaired and often only detectable after stimulation, standardized stimulation is applied in most of the subtests. In this way it is possible to test acute stroke patients for aphasic and dysarthric symptoms. The course of recovery in a typical case is described.
