The incidence of stroke is high, and post-stroke aphasia (PSA) is one of the common sequelae. Patients with PSA mainly have different degrees of impairment in speech comprehension and expression, resulting in significant decline in communication ability, which seriously affects their daily interactions and quality of life, and may even hinder the recovery of other functions. Aphasia screening is the first step in treatment. A comprehensive screening system is conducive to timely and accurate screening and intervention for patients, promoting their rehabilitation. This article summarizes and reviews the screening scales for PSA, with the aim of promoting the standardization and clinical application of aphasia screening scales in China.
