Sažetak
Dysphasia is one of speech disordes in which there is impairment of the power of expression by spoken language, writing, or signs, or impairment of the power of comprehension of spoken or written language. Functional diagnostics of such patients is dirrected to the positive rehabilitation outcome. The objective of this study was to present the minimal diagnostic program for reading disabilities in patients with sensomotor dysphasia. Ten patients aged 40-80 were tested. Control group consisted of 10 healthy persons matched by age, gender and nonverbal status. Complete diagnostic evaluation was performed included ophtalmological, otoneurological, evoked auditory and visual potentials, logopedic, psychological and psychiatric evaluation. The results show the positive correlation betweeen: 1. auditory synthesis and analysis results and auditory brainstem potentials findings, 2. visuomotor function results and visual evoked potentials. Minimal functional diagnostic program for dysphasic patients with reading difficulties must consist of neurological, logopedic and psychological testing. According to the results of psiholinguistic abilities evoked potentials testing ( auditory and/or visual one) will be done for the rehabilitation purposes.
