| Abstrakt | This article presents the Alzheirner's Disease Assessment Scale-Cognitive (ADAS-Cog) for the measurement of disease progression and the patienYs response to drug treatment for Alzheimer's disease. Previous scales had only limited utility because of low sensitivity and restricted scope. The ADAS-Cog provides more comprehensive and detailed information. meets practical standards and is easy to administer. Special training, however, is needed for administering the test. The scale is designed to measure all the major symtpoms of dementia and determine the increase in the symptom severity: the test is reliable and suitable for the use in a variety of settings. It comprises 11 cognitive items. including spoken language ability, comprehension of spoken language, recall of test instructions. word-finding problems in spontaneous speech. following commands, naming objects and fingers. constructional and ideational praxis, orientation, word-recall and word-recognition tasks. Despite the above mentioned advantages ADAS-Cog cannot replace an extensive neuropsychological test. | |
| Izvleček | V prispevku predstavljamo lestvico za oceno kognitivnih sposobnosti bolnikov z Alzheimerjevo boleznijo. Z lestvico merimo napredovanje bolezni, primerna pa je tudi za oceno učinka zdravil. Prejšnje lestvice so bile manj občutljive in omejene le na oceno posameznih kognitivnih sposobnosti. Na splošno takšno ocenjevanje ni zapleteno, zahteva pa ustrezne izkušnje. Z lestvico prepoznamo vse pomembne simptome demence. Preiskava zahteva določen čas, vendar je občutljiv pokazatelj napredovanja bolezni. Lestvico sestavlja enajst nalog: besedni priklic, poimenovanje predmetov in prstov, sledenje ukazom, preizkusa na konstrukcijsko in ideatorno apraksijo, ocene orientacije, prepoznavanja besed, pomnjenja testnih navodil ter več preizkusov govornih sposobnosti. Lestvica je zelo pregledna in primerna tako za ambulantno kot za raziskovalno delo, vendar ne more nadomestiti razširjenega nevropsihološkega pregleda. | |
