title: [Movement patterns of demented and non-demented nursing home patients using the Involuntary Movements and Extrapyramidal Scale. Effects of pharmacotherapy].
abstract: We applied the involuntary movements and extrapyramidal scale in 54 patients (41 with dementia, 13 without dementia) of the Käferberg nursing home. Increased severity of parkinsonism was negatively correlated with Mini-Mental State scores (mnestic function r = 0.479, p less than 0.001/spatial function r = -0.617, p less than 0.001) and with activities of daily living scores (r = 0.635, p less than 0.001). Increased severity of parkinsonism and impaired memory are associated with poor performance in activities of daily living.
