Aphasia Impact Questionnaire
The Aphasia Impact Questionnaire (AIQ), most commonly administered as the Stroke and Aphasia Quality of Life Scale (SAQOL-39), is a comprehensive 39-item self-report measure of health-related quality of life in adults with aphasia following stroke or acquired brain injury. Developed by Hilari and colleagues (2003), AIQ assesses communication function, psychosocial well-being, physical health, and social participation—capturing the multidimensional burden of aphasia on daily life beyond linguistic deficits alone.
