AB  - Introduction. Aphasia and dysarthria are permanent conse-
quences of stroke in many patients. These disorders signifi-
cantly disrupt the person’s functioning in everyday life. The aim
of this paper is to examine the quality of communication and
quality of life in patients with aphasia and dysarthria. Material
and Methods. The clinical group included 25 patients with apha-
sia and 20 patients with dysarthria due to stroke. The control
group included 15 post-stroke people without speech and lan-
guage disorders and 15 neurologically healthy subjects. The
Quality of Communication Life Scale was used to assess the
quality of communication. This scale provides information about
the impact of speech and language disorders on individuals’
ability to communicate and quality of life in general. The scale
consists of 18 items scored from 1 to 5. Results. Patients with
aphasia and dysarthria have a significantly lower quality of com-
munication compared to stroke survivors with preserved speech
and language functions and neurologically healthy subjects. The
severity of the language and speech disorder proved to be a
significant factor in determining the quality of communication.
Namely, patients with more severe forms of aphasia and dysar-
thria scored significantly lower on the Quality of Communica-
tion Life Scale compared to the patients with milder forms. It
was also shown that patients with flaccid dysarthria have the
worst quality of communication compared to the patients with
other types of dysarthria. Conclusion. Aphasia and dysarthria
following a stroke significantly impair the quality of communi-
cation and quality of life of the affected persons.
AB  - Uvod. Afazija i dizartrija ostaju kao trajne posledice moždanog
udara kod mnogih pacijenata. Ovi poremećaji značajno remete
funkcionisanje osobe u svakodnevnom životu. Cilj ovog rada
je utvrđivanje kvaliteta komunikacije i kvaliteta života kod
pacijenata sa afazijom i dizartrijom. Materijal i metode.
Kliničku grupu činilo je 25 ispitanika sa afazijom i 20 ispi-
tanika sa dizartrijom usled moždanog udara. U kontrolnu
grupu uključeno je 15 ispitanika sa moždanim udarom bez
poremećaja govora i jezika i 15 neurološki zdravih govornika.
Za procenu kvaliteta komunikacije primenjena je Skala kvaliteta
komunikacionog života. Primenom ove skale dobijaju se infor-
macije o uticaju govornih i jezičkih poremećaja na sposobnost
komunikacije pojedinca i kvalitet života uopšte. Skala se sas-
toji od osamnaest tvrdnji koje ispitanici vrednuju ocenom od
jedan do pet. Rezultati. Ispitanici sa afazijom i dizartrijom
imaju značajno niži kvalitet komunikacije u poređenju sa
osobama sa moždanim udarom očuvanih govornih i jezičkih
funkcija i neurološki zdravim govornicima. Težina jezičkog i
govornog poremećaja se pokazala značajnim faktorom u
određivanju kvaliteta komunikacije. Utvrđeno je da pacijenti
sa težim formama afazije i dizartrije imaju značajno niži skor
na Skali kvaliteta komunikativnog života u odnosu na pacijente
sa lakšim formama. Takođe je pokazano da pacijenti sa flacid-
nom dizartrijom imaju najlošiji kvalitet komunikacije u grupi
ispitanika sa dizartrijom. Zaključak. Afazija i dizartrija nakon
moždanog udara znatno narušavaju kvalitet komunikacije i
kvalitet života pogođenih osoba.

AB  - Nakon pandemije COVID-19 veći broj studija o tretmanu afazija fokusiran je na ispitivanje efekata jezičkih terapija koje se sprovode onlajn. Jedna od metoda koja je posebno privukla pažnju istraživača je onlajn metoda virtuleni svet „Eva park“. Eva Park predstavlja ostrvo u kojem su osobe sa afazijom i drugim učesnicima. Svim učesnicima u ovom programu, omogućeno je da se slobodno kreću, da izvršavaju različite zadatke, dok razgovaraju s logopedom i osobama s afazijom. Cilj ovog rada je da se prikaže značaj onlajn terapije afazija putem metode „Eva pak“. Metod rada. Na osnovu baze PubMed, pregledano je 14 radova posvećenih metodi tretmana virtuelnog sveta „Eva park“ kod osoba sa afazijom. Rezultati ukazuju na prednosti vežbanja konverzacije u različitim situacijama, koje većini osoba sa afazijom nisu dostupne u realnom svetu, takođe, istaknut je značaj druženja osoba s afazijom s drugim osobama u cilju smanjenja osećaja izolovanosti i depresije. Kao negativne strane ove metode navodi se to što metoda ima značajna ograničenja kod osoba koje imaju redukovane verbalne sposobnosti. Stoga se metoda više preporučuje za osobe sa kognitivnim deficitima bez prisustva težih jezičkih poremećaja. Zaključak. Metoda virtuelni svet za osobe sa afazijom je obećavajuća metoda za koju su nam neophodna dalja istraživanja usmerena na detekcija oblika i težine afazičnog sindroma za koju je ova metoda najpogodnija.

AB  - Traumatic brain injury (TBI) leaves numerous consequences on cognitive, language, and com-
munication abilities. TBI often leads to disturbances in comprehending figurative language,
which can disrupt the communication process. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the
ability of persons who have suffered TBI to understand proverbs in order to draw attention to
figurative language/conversation abilities, which is a topic that is rarely investigated.
Method: The sample consisted of 4 subjects with TBI aged 22 to 29 years, who had complet-
ed 12 to 16 years of education. Subjects were tested between 4 and 9 months after the injury. Using magnetic resonance imaging, it was determined that two subjects had a diffuse brain
injury, while the other two had a contusion brain injury. The control group consisted of four
subjects who equally-matched to subjects with TBI in terms of gender, age, and level of edu-
cation. The study focused on 10 proverbs that are used often in everyday communication. The
assessment of the understanding of proverbs was carried out by two clinicians in the Serbian
language. After the subject heard the proverb, he/she was asked to interpret the meaning,
while two clinicians recorded the success of the understanding and categorised the subject’s
answers based on the following: understands the concrete meaning, partially understands
the metaphor, and fully understands the metaphor. Descriptive statistical measures were
used in this study. The results show that subjects with diffuse lesions had pronounced diffi-
culties in understanding proverbs, while subjects with brain contusions interpreted the prov-
erbs well, but with a delayed latency.
Conclusion: Our data shows that proverb comprehension disorders are more pronounced in
people with a diffuse injury than those with a contusion brain injury. Due to the small num-
ber of respondents, in this study, we compared only the type of brain injury, not the location.
In addition, these results are limited by the size of the sample and cannot be generalised.
