Document Summary
Montreal cognitive assessment (moca: alternating trail making: Scoring: allocate one point if the subject successfully draws the following pattern: 1- a- 2- b- 3- c- 4- d- 5- e, without drawing any lines that cross. Any error that is not immediately self-corrected earns a score of 0: visuoconstructional skills (cube): Scoring: one point is allocated for a correctly executed drawing. Lines are relatively parallel and their length is similar (rectangular prisms are accepted) A point is not assigned if any of the above-criteria are not met: visuoconstructional skills (clock): Scoring: one point is allocated for each of the following three criteria: ): the clock face must be a circle with only minor distortion acceptable (e. g. , slight imperfection on closing the circle); ): there must be two hands jointly indicating the correct time; the hour hand must be clearly shorter than the minute hand; hands must be centered within the clock face with their junction close to the clock center.
