Table 5 Comparison between patients with buccofacial apraxia and without buccofacial apraxia regarding scores of aphasia test. Table 5 (a) that was statistically analyzed using the median shows that there was a significant difference between patients with buccofacial apraxia and patients without buccofacial apraxia in the scores of aphasia test in gesture object use, written sentences comprehension, reading complex, and function words. Table 5 (b) that was statistically analyzed using the mean reveals that there was a significant difference between patients with buccofacial apraxia and patients without buccofacial apraxia in the scores of aphasia test in complex word repetition, reading complex words, andreading non-words.

From: Language profile in different kinds of apraxia in post-stroke patients
