Aphasia refers to the impairment of brain tissues related to language functions, leading to a decline in patients’ability to understand and express communicative symbol systems, as well as a reduction in the cognitive processes and functions that underlie language. Aphasia has been recognized as one of the functional disorders that severely affect patients’daily communication. Consequently, the assessment and treatment of aphasia have garnered increasing attention.
