Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the usefulness of Dynamic Loewenstein's Occupational Therapy and Cognitive Assessment Scale for Geriatrics (DLOTCA-G) in parkinson patients.

Conditions

Parkinson Disease

Keywords

Parkinson Disease; DLOTCA-G

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Dynamic Lowenstein Occupational Therapy Cognitive Assessment-Geriatric Version

  The Dynamic Lowenstein Occupational Therapy Cognitive Assessment is an occupational performance measurement battery designed to assess basic cognitive skills and visual perception in adults with neurological deficits. Consists 8 subtests: orientation, awareness, visual perception, spatial perception, praxis, visuomotor construction and thinking operations and memory. All subtests of DLOTCA-G are scored between 1 - 4 points. And higher scores indicate better cognitive performance. There is no cut-off value for Parkinson's patients.

  Baseline (First assessment)

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Mini Mental State Examination

  Baseline (First assessment)

Study Arms (3)

Experimental

Parkinson's disease patients with cognitive impairment

Active Comparator

Parkinson's disease patients without cognıtıve impairment

Other: assesment of cognitive parameters with DLOTCA-G

other

Health geriatric persons

Other: assesment of cognitive parameters with DLOTCA-G

Interventions

assesment of cognitive parameters with DLOTCA-G OTHER

All three groups were evaluated once with the DLOTCA-G, a cognitive assessment battery.
