其他摘要：We investigated activities of daily living and social life among aphasics without physical disabilities. We examined the support items which were required, and the associations between their severity level of language function and their difficulties in daily living and social life. The subjects were 38 chronic aphasic persons without hemiplegia. We surveyed support needs and severity of language function. Pass rates of language tests among persons with aphasia was 100% in auditory comprehension of words or sentences, and 34% in speech production of words or sentences. Aphasic persons without physical disabilities showed good recovery on auditory comprehension, but speech production disorders continued to exist, and they needed assistance on communication-related activities. Different social support was needed according to the severity of aphasia. Even mild aphasic persons needed assistance on social activities that required communication. And persons with severe aphasia who have disability of speech production needed assistance for a wide range of social activities.
