TI  - Reliability and Validity of Bedside Version of Persian WAB (P-WAB-1).
PG  - 253-8
AB  - INTRODUCTION: In this study, we reported the reliability and validity of Bedside 
      version of Persian WAB (P-WAB-1) adapted from Western Aphasia Battery (WAB-R) 
      (1,2). P-WAB-1 is a clinical linguistic measuring tool to determine severity and 
      type of aphasia in brain damaged patients based on Aphasia Quotient (AQ) as a 
      functional measure. For the purposes of a quick clinical screening of aphasia in 
      Persian, we adapted the bedside version of WAB-R to assess the performance of 
      Persian aphasic patients. METHODS: The data we reported on adaptation, validity 
      and reliability of P-WAB-1 are based on faithful translation and criterion 
      validity ratio (CVR) taken from the expert panel and the performance of 60 
      consecutive brain damaged patients referred to different university clinics for 
      rehabilitation and 30 healthy subjects as norms and 40 age-matched epileptic 
      patients as the control group. RESULTS: Based on the results of this study, 
      P-WAB-1 has internal consistency (a=0.71) and test-retest reliability (r=.65 
      P<0.001) and the subtests are sensitive enough to contribute to Aphasia Quotient 
      (AQ) as a functional measure of severity of aphasia in Iranian brain damaged 
      patients. Based on AQ results, our aphasic patients were classified into four 
      distinct groups of severity. DISCUSSION: P-WAB-1 is the first clinical linguistic 
      test to determine severity of aphasia based on an operational index and can be 
      considered as a valid baseline for screening and diagnosis of aphasia among 
      Persian speaking brain damaged patients. This study is the initial step on 
      adaptation of different versions of WAB-R to measure the severity of aphasia 
      using AQ, LQ and CQ as operational measures and to classify Persian speaking 
      aphasic patients into different types.
