Appraisal Apparatuses for Dementia for Neuropsychological Subsequent Meet-ups

Patrono Enrico Salvatore

Assessment tools for dementia vary depending on the specific neuropsychological requirements of the individual to be evaluated. Some commonly used assessments include the Mini-Mental State Examination, Montreal Cognitive Assessment, Clinical Dementia Rating, and the Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale-Cognitive Subscale. Additional tools may include performance-based assessments, such as the Clock Drawing Test and Trail Making Test, as well as informant-based assessments, such as the Dementia Questionnaire. Overall, the selection of assessment tools should be based on the individual's clinical presentation, cognitive strengths and weaknesses, and personal and social history. It is essential that a comprehensive evaluation is performed to diagnose and formulate a treatment plan for individuals with dementia.
