Scores of the Aachen Aphasia Test. Token test: no/mild disorder (0–6); light (7–21); middle (22–40); severe (>40). Comprehension (including words and sentences in both the visual and auditory modality): no/mild disorder (104–120); light (87–103); middle (58–86); severe (1–57). Naming: no/mild disorder (109–120); light (92–108); middle (41–91); severe (1–40). Repetition: no/mild disorder (144–150); light (123–143); middle (75–122); severe (1–74). Severity levels of apraxia of speech and dysarthria are based on the ratings in the patients' clinical files.
Patients are sorted by treatment group (from top to bottom): singing therapy (patients IK, LS, OK, PL, PR), rhythmic therapy (patients AS, DO, GB, HG, PH), and standard therapy (patients CM, HK, HP, JD, TJ).
AOS, apraxia of speech; SD, standard deviation.
