Re-education of disturbed speech was conducted in 224 patients from 1 to 8 weeks after strike.

It was found that the speech was much better after re-educaton than in patients in a later stage of this disease who had no speech rehabilitation in the early stage of the disease. For demonstrating these differences two groups of patients (30 subjects in each) matched for age, stroke aetiology and type of speech disorders were compared.
