What is aphasia?

什麼是失語症?

  • 失語症指由於控制語言的腦部組織受損，使患者喪失了原本的語言能力，包括聆聽理解、說話表達、閱讀或書寫能力上出現不同程度的障礙。
  • 失語症的常見成因包括中風、頭部創傷和腦腫瘤等。
  • 失語症患者因為左腦部損傷的部位、範圍和受損程度不同，所以語言功能受損的程度亦不盡相同。
  • 失語症大致可分為兩個類別：流暢型及非流暢型。

 

What is Aphasia?

  • Aphasia is an acquired impairment of language, affecting the understanding and production of language, and the ability to read and/or write.
  • Aphasia can be caused by brain injury to the language area in the left hemisphere, such as a stroke, head trauma, or brain tumor.
  • The severity and degree of the language impairment depend on the area of the brain affected and the extent of damage.
  • There are two major types of aphasia: fluent aphasia and non-fluent aphasia.
