ABSTRACT:
A method for differentiating cognitively normal elderly individuals from mildly demented patients with Alzheimer's disease by monitoring motor/psychomotor test results by the use of various computer monitored transducer apparatus attached to the individual while the individual undergoes testing. Head tracking ability, head steadiness, EMG-Arm extension tracking, and joint position matching are measured parameters used in the method.
