Functional assessment in severely demented patients.
The Brighton Clinic Adaptive Behaviour Scale was administered to a group of severely demented patients, resulting in a range of scores. The scale was found to be reliable and validated against the Clifton Assessment Procedures for the Elderly Behaviour Rating Scale and psychiatric ratings. The scale is likely to prove useful to clinicians and researchers.
