Abstract:
Background Paragraph
In previous studies that have investigated quality of life (QOL) of stroke survivors, stroke survivors with aphasia have often been excluded. The Stroke and Aphasia Quality of Life scale (SAQOL-39) is a new reliable measure, which has recently been used with British stroke survivors with aphasia to investigate health-related quality of life (HRQL). This measure is beneficial for clinical decisions and rehabilitation outcomes for stroke survivors with aphasia.
