STROKE, ISCHEMIC STROKE
A total of 20 women (29%) and 50 men (71%) were included in this study, with an average of 65.0 (11.3) years. The educational background mainly comprised junior middle school (n = 29, 41.4%) and senior high school (n = 22, 31.4%). The main types of stroke were ischemic stroke (n = 56, 80.0%), Broca’s aphasia (n = 41; 57.1%), and Transcortical motor aphasia (n = 29; 41.4%). Most patients had right hemiplegia (n = 39, 55.7%), and the median of intervention period was 15(1) days. All patients participated in the expression, comprehension, and reading of ABC and scoring of all CADL items. Moreover, 17 patients without hemiplegia and 11 patients with left hemiplegia participated in the scoring of ABC writing items (group I, n = 13; and group II, n = 15). Baseline data are shown in
