The Aphasia Bedside Check for Russian (ABC-Ru) is a screening test that allows the medical staff of a neurological ward to detect speech/language disorders in the first days post-stroke onset. To evaluate whether this test follows modern psychometric standards, we performed two studies. In Study 1, we reported the results of the standardization of the ABC-Ru in a clinical group of people with chronic speech/language disorders (N = 80) and a cohort of neurologically healthy individuals (N = 120). In Study 2, we validated the results in a group of people in the acute post-stroke period (N = 20) with and without speech/language disorders. According to the results of the study, the ABC-Ru can be considered as a valid instrument and can potentially be used in neurological departments for the screening of speech and language disorders

The article by Schwartz and Murphy1 in the May 1975 issue emphasizes the key position of the pediatrician in recognition of speech and language disorders, as well as the lack of training of health professionals in this important area of development. We would like to call attention to a five-minute screening test appropriate for children 6 months to 6 years of age. The Physician's Developmental Quick Screen for Speech Disorders (PDQ)2 is designed for use by non-speech pathologists.

Speech And Language Disorders

Auditory processing deficits and articulation disorders were studied in a group of male juvenile delinquents. Significant auditory processing deficits were frequently observed and were significantly related to underachievement in reading, spelling, and arithmetic. In addition, articulation disorders were present in over 60% of the delinquent subjects. The results are interpreted to indicate that the evaluation of speech capabilities and auditory processing skills should be an integral part of treatment programs for delinquent populations. The importance of early intervention through identification and treatment of speech and language disorders in the early school period is supported.

Postural Assessment

(1) Background: Observational scales are the most common methodology used to assess postural control and balance in people with stroke. The aim of this paper was to analyse the construct validity of the Postural Assessment Scale for Stroke Patients (PASS) scale in post-stroke patients in the acute, subacute, and chronic stroke phases. (2) Methods: Sixty-one post-stroke participants were enrolled. To analyze the construct validity of the PASS, the following scales were used: the Functional Ambulatory Category (FAC), the Wisconsin Gait Scale (WGS), the Barthel Index (BI) and the Functional Independence Measure (FIM). (3) Results: The construct validity of the PASS scale in patients with stroke at acute phase was moderate with the FAC (r = −0.791), WGS (r = −0.646) and FIM (r = −0.678) and excellent with the BI (r = 0.801). At subacute stage, the construct validity of the PASS scale was excellent with the FAC (r = 0.897), WGS (r = −0.847), FIM (r = −0.810) and BI (r = −0.888). At 6 and 12 months, the construct validity of the PASS with the FAC, WGS, FIM and BI was also excellent. (4) Conclusions: The PASS scale is a valid instrument to assess balance in post-stroke individuals especially, in the subacute and chronic phases (at 6 and 12 months).
