Abstract

Introduction: The evaluation of aphasic patients omits the qualitative dimension of linguistic and visual-motor analysis, this being relevant for diagnostic
orientation. Objective: To determine the visual motor and language skills of the patient with aphasia, using the Boston test for the Diagnosis of aphasia. (BDAE). Methods: A sample of 24 aphasic patients of both genders, of the department of Sucre is selected, using the assessment instrument in its entirety to measure sociodemographic variables and analysis as skills listening, speaking, reading, writing, visual motor, psycholinguistic structure of comprehension and expression, lesion location and types of aphasia. Results: It was observed that the age range of patients was placed between 38 - 70 years, mainly boys (70.8%), placed in a low socioeconomic status (87.5%),with a range of basic education (66.7%). Lesions were anteroposterior predominance (41.7%) coinciding with aphasia types found, the most frequent global aphasia (45.8%) followed by mixed (20.8%); largely caused by stroke (58.3%). In all patients a restricted vocabulary found with altered language skills entirely in the comprehensive and mixed aphasia; in transcortical aphasia and Broca single oral skills are altered. Gnosis and Praxias were compromised in patients depending on the site and extent of injury. Conclusion: All patients with aphasia have difficulties with language and visual motor skills, being necessary to include them in your application.
