Efficient and effective assessment of deficits and their neural bases in stroke aphasia.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Multi-assessment batteries are necessary for diagnosing and quantifying the multifaceted deficits observed post-stroke. Extensive batteries are thorough but impractically long for clinical settings or large-scale research studies. Clinically-targeted "shallow" batteries superficially cover a wide range of language skills relatively quickly but can struggle to identify mild deficits or quantify the impairment level. Our aim was to compare these batteries across a large group of chronic stroke aphasia and to test a novel data-driven reduced version of an extensive battery that maintained sensitivity to mild impairment, ability to grade deficits and the underlying component structure.

Methods

We tested 75 chronic left-sided stroke participants, spanning global to mild
