Outcome of visuospatial dysfunction assessment in patients with Parkinson's disease using mobile application software.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Visuospatial dysfunction and cognitive impairment are common in Parkinson's disease (PD), which draw increasing attention in the current literature. But clinicians still lack rapid, effective and unified cognitive battery for visuospatial assessment.

Objective

A new approach was studied to explore the feasibility of using mobile application software (APP) to evaluate visuospatial dysfunction in patients with PD and compared with traditional assessment tools. We aimed to verify the threshold score of the APP for early diagnosis.

Materials and methods

A total of 41 patients with PD underwent assessments using several test modules including Digit Symbol Test (DST), Visual Organization Test (VOT), Facial Recognition Test (FRT), Vocabulary Memory Test (VMT) of t
