Sažetak
During the years different versions of TROG-2: HR test were used in studies examining comprehension in adults with aphasia because of its sensitivity (Grayson et al., 1997 ; Nestor et al., 2003 ; Knibb et al., 2009), although TROG-2: HR test is not primarily constructed for diagnosing aphasia patients. The aim of this study is to show the influence of variables such as age, gender, education level, aphasia type and time post stroke on TROG-2: HR test results in aphasia patients. Participants were 50 aphasia patients, diagnosed in Polyclinic SUVAG, Zagreb and involved in speech and language therapy on verbotonal method. All participants have suffered ischemic stroke. After the initial examination, descriptive and statistical analyses were conducted. Participants were divided in groups by age, gender, education level, time post stroke and aphasia type – global aphasia, senso- motor aphasia, Wernicke`s and Broca`s aphasia and anomia. Descriptive analysis showed that the highest percentage of participants was successful in first set, while no one solved the last set in the TROG-2: HR test. Patients with senso-motor aphasia had the largest variability in results, depending on their comprehension and expression difficulties level. Statistical analyses showed negative correlation between age and TROG-2: HR test results -the older the participants get, the worse is their result. As expected, participants with Wernicke`s, senso-motor and global aphasia had worse results than the participants with Broca`s aphasia or anomia. On variables such as gender, education and time post stroke no statistical significance was found. It is noticed that many participants with aphasia made only one error on set during TROG- 2: HR test appliance. This can be interpreted as difficulties in processing, rather than difficulties in understanding grammatical structures. Qualitative analysis is important during interpretation of TROG-2: HR test results especially because of these occurrences in adults with aphasia, as much as their lack of concentration and fast fatigue.
