Prager scale

The Prager Scale is a tool used to measure the severity of speech impairments caused by neurological conditions like aphasia. It assigns a score from 1 to 10, where 1 indicates near-normal speech and 10 signifies a complete inability to speak. The scale helps clinicians assess progress and tailor therapy by providing a standardized way to evaluate how much a person’s speech ability has changed over time. Essentially, it maps the continuum from fully understandable speech to total non-communication, aiding in communication and treatment planning.
