Welcome to The Climb, your weekly journey with Lifecycle Sherpa, where we explore Parkinson’s Disease, its symptoms, treatments, tips, techniques, and build a supportive and knowledgeable community.
This week’s trail leads us to… cognitive changes (Part 4).
Question: If you notice there have been some changes, there are many assessments a practitioner may use to assess cognition. These may be performed by a doctor, neuropsychologist, speech therapist, or occupational therapist. What are some examples of assessments you may be given to assess your cognition?
Answer:
- MoCA (Montreal Cognitive Assessment)
- MMSE (Mini Mental Status Examination)
- SLUMS (Saint Louis University Mental Status)
We always encourage feedback, as it helps us enhance our community. Feel free to reach out regarding future topics you want to learn about, or how we can improve your experience.
See you next week!
