Abstract
For rehabilitation of patients with aphasia, the accurate diagnosis of aphasia and its type is very important. The types of aphasia are classified on the basis of the impairment pattern found in speech fluency, comprehension, and repetition. The aphasia types provide medical staffs with clues for how to best communicate with patients with aphasia. Physiatrists should grasp the language signs and symptoms of those patients and organize suitable rehabilitation. Standard medical practices in treatment of aphasia and recent methods to boost language recovery are also reviewed.
