![]() ![]() In this context early detection of cognitive decline is crucial to implement preventive strategies that can halt the progression of decline and promote brain health maintenance ( 8, 9). Additionally, aging itself is recognized to lead to the decline or alteration of structural and functional brain mechanisms ( 7), resulting in subsequent functional impact. Estimations on disability further propose that in 2050, half of the global burden due to disability will be attributable to mental and cognitive disorders ( 6). Advancing age represents the main risk factor for the development of brain related diseases ( 3).įor example, Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementias is the 7th causes of death worldwide, the second in high income countries ( 4, 5). It has been estimated that the proportion of people over 55 years will surpass people under 15 years by the year of 2035 ( 2). Results: Results demonstrated strong convergent validity as well as good specificity and sensitivity characteristics.ĭiscussion: This tool is a valid and useful instrument to assess cognitive functioning and detecting potential cases of cognitive dysfunctions in older adults and clinical populations.Īs life expectancy continues to rise, healthcare services around the world will be progressively and increasingly challenged by age-related diseases ( 1). We also conducted sensitivity and specificity analysis to establish the utility of this instrument in identifying potential cognitive dysfunctions in the two groups. To perform a convergent validity test, older adults were also administered with the MOCA, while young and middle-aged individuals were administered with a short neuropsychological assessment including gold-standard neuropsychological tests. Method: Here, we present results from a validation in two different populations: one consisting of older adults, and the other comprising young and middle-aged individuals, some of them affected by acquired brain injury. The “Guttmann Cognitest” ®, which includes seven computerized tasks designed to assess main cognitive functions, revealed in a previous validation study to be a potential useful tool to assess cognitive functioning in healthy middle-aged adults. Introduction: Digital solutions for cognitive assessment are currently not only widely used in experimental contexts but can also be useful in clinical practice for efficient screening and longitudinal follow-up. 5Servei Envelliment i Salut Servei Andorrà d'Atenció Sanitària, Andorra la Vella, Andorra.4Departament de Medicina, Facultat de Medicina i Ciències de la Salut, Universitat de Barcelona, Barcelona, Spain.3Fundació Institut d'Investigació en Ciències de la Salut Germans Trias i Pujol, Barcelona, Spain.2Departament de Medicina, Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, Bellaterra, Spain.1Institut Guttmann, Institut Universitari de Neurorehabilitació Adscrit a la UAB, Badalona, Spain. ![]() Epub 2014 Nov 11.Gabriele Cattaneo 1,2,3 * Alba Roca-Ventura 1,3,4 Eva Heras 5 Maria Anglada 5 Jan Missé 5 Encarnació Ulloa 5 Simon Fankhauser 1,2,3 Eloy Opisso 1,2,3 Alberto García-Molina 1,2,3 Javier Solana-Sánchez 1,2,3 doi: 10.1089/tmj.2019.0134.Ī feasibility study of conducting the Montreal Cognitive Assessment remotely in individuals with movement disordersĪ Abdolahi, MT Bull, KC Darwin… – Health informatics …, 2016 – Iiboshi K, Yoshida K, Yamaoka Y, Eguchi Y, Sato D, Kishimoto M, Funaki K, Mimura M, Kishimoto T. 2019 Dec 9:1357633X19890788.Ī Validation Study of the Remotely Administered Montreal Cognitive Assessment Tool in the Elderly Japanese Population.
