This study aims to investigate how rehabilitation training using Chinese idioms and short phrases affects stroke patients with non-fluent aphasia's language recovery and daily communication abilities. Random assignments were made to place the 82 stroke patients with non-fluent aphasia either the intervention group (n = 41) or the control group (n = 41). In the realm of neurology, both groups received conventional treatment and rehabilitation. On the other hand, the intervention group received additional rehabilitation training that was concentrated on Chinese idioms and short phrases. The study findings indicated that the group being observed showed significant improvements in several areas including listening comprehension, paraphrasing, speaking, vocalization, reading, CADL score, FDA score, speech articulation, MPT, loudness, and MoCA following a four-week training session. Correlation analysis revealed substantial differences across the parameters, except for MPT and cloudiness. The results indicate that targeted language rehabilitation training that emphasizes Chinese idioms and short phrases may greatly improve listening, recounting, speaking, pronunciation, reading skills, as well as everyday communication and cognitive capacities.
