title: [Evaluation of the effects of psychomotor reeducation in aged patients with dementia].
abstract: Psychomotor re-education has been attempted experimentally with a population of demented patients in a geriatric ward. It draws on the methods employed at the Bel Air Psychiatric Clinic, in particular the principle of transfer of training. To assess the effect, if any, of the therapy, two psychological rating scales devised specially for demented patients, were established by the team of psychologists at the Grenoble Teaching Hospital. These rating scales are based on the theoretical notions of J. de AJURIAGUERRA and colleagues, that is, the concepts of structural analysis, of involution and homogeneity or inhomogeneity. The psychological test rating scale proposed explores four aspects of mental activity : memory, operating mechanisms, visual defects, space perception and orientation. The rating scale is described in detail, with its references, instructions and scoring.
