| Abstract: | Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the long-term effects of multimodal language rehabilitation on second language acquisition and recovery in bilingual aphasic patients. Methods: The data of 78 bilingual aphasic patients who underwent language rehabilitation at the language rehabilitation team consisting of students and experts in this field from Beijing Jiaotong University and other universities and institutes from January 2021 to December 2022 were retrospectively analysed. Patients were divided into the conventional group (receiving conventional language rehabilitation, n = 38) and the multimodal group (receiving multimodal language rehabilitation, n = 40). The overall efficacy rate, second language vocabulary acquisition, language function scores, oral motor function scores, articulation clarity and quality of life scores in both groups were compared. Results: The multimodal group demonstrated significantly higher overall efficacy rates compared to the conventional group (97.50% vs. 81.58%, p < 0.05). Notably, multimodal rehabilitation led to marked improvements in second language vocabulary acquisition (10.25 ± 2.14 vs. 8.14 ± 1.56, p = 0.001) and language function scores (124.75 ± 18.04 vs. 108.90 ± 17.62, p = 0.001). Enhanced articulation clarity (24.65 ± 4.75 vs. 20.58 ± 5.22, p = 0.001) and a social function, mental health and emotional role function in the quality of life further underscored its therapeutic advantage. Conclusion: Multimodal language rehabilitation significantly facilitates second language recovery in bilingual aphasia, with sustained improvements in linguistic competence and psychosocial well-being. These findings advocate for prioritizing multimodal approaches in clinical practice to address the complex linguistic needs of bilingual patients. |
