From the results we then examined the changes through out the years.

It is thereby possible that prosodic ability is more vulnerable also in Swedish speaking Adults with acquired brain injury.The aim of the present study was to assess prosodic ability in Adults with acquired brain injury, and to evaluate the prosodic assessment procedure that was used.
