The clock-drawing test and mini mental state examination are screening tests for dementia and cognitive impairment. The clock-drawing test involves drawing a clock and is easy to administer, correlates well with other cognitive tests, and can track deterioration over time. It screens for visual-spatial abilities and cognitive skills. The mini mental state examination assesses orientation, memory, attention, language and visual-spatial skills with 30 total points. Scores below 24 may indicate impairment depending on age and education levels.

STATE EXAMINATION Presented By: Iyan meyasdi The clock-drawing test is a good screening test for dementia and cognitive dysfunction with the possible exception of cases of very early Alzheimer's disease. The test has a high correlation with the MMSE and other tests of cognitive dysfunction. Its value in diagnosing unilateral neglect and focal brain damage requires further study. It is easy to administer, is not threatening to the patient and takes very little time. It is easy to document graphically in clinical records and it can be used to document deterioration over time in dementia patients. Normal clock-drawing ability reasonably excludes cognitive impairment. The clock-drawing test is used for screening for cognitive impairment and dementia and as a measure of spatial dysfunction and neglect. It was originally used to assess visuo-constructive abilities but we know that abnormal clock drawing occurs in other cognitive impairments. Doing the test requires verbal understanding, memory and spatially coded knowledge in addition to constructive skills. Education, age and mood can influence the test results, with subjects of low education, advanced age and depression performing more poorly. Different ways of performing the clock-drawing test
Clock drawing can be performed in different ways and the scoring also varies. The subject is presented with a white paper with the instructions to draw a clock. There is no time limit. In the free-drawn method, the subject is asked to draw a clock from memory. In the pre-drawn method, the subject is presented with a circular contour and is expected to draw in the numbers on the clock face. Sometimes the subject is asked to draw the hands at a fixed time, often 10 past 11, but in many cases the hands are excluded. In still another method the subject is asked only to set the hands at a fixed time on a pre-drawn clock, complete with contour and numbers traced a four-inch diameter circle in the chart and then asked the patient to write in the numbers that appear in the face of a clock. When they had finished that task, asked them to make the clock read ten minutes after 11, consciously avoiding mention of the hands of a clock. This is the entire procedure for the administration of the 10-point clock test (Manos and Wu, 1994) produced a clear plastic template, four inches in diameter and divided into eighths, both to trace the circle and score the test. To score, the clock is divided into eighths, beginning with a line through the number 12 and the center of the circle. (If the 12 is missing, its position is assumed to be counterclockwise from the 1 at a distance equal to that between the 1 and 2.) Any straight edge may be used to divide the clock into eighths. This is accomplished more quickly by placing the clear, flat plastic template over the circle with a line through the number 12. One point each is given for the numbers 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10, and 11 if at least half the area of the number is in the proper octant of the circle relative to the number 12. One point each is given for an obvious short hand pointing at the 11 and an obvious long hand pointing to the 2. The difference in the length of the hands must be obvious at a glance. A score of 10 suggests that cognitive impairment (CI) is unlikely, although isolated short-term memory impairment such as that seen with carbon monoxide poisoning may be missed. A score of eight or nine must be interpreted clinically. However, a score of less than eight indicates almost CI, and a score of less than five indicates prominent impairment. Mini mental State examination Effective screening for cognitive impairment requires assessment of multiple aspects of mental functioning, including orientation, short-term memory, receptive and expressive language ability, attention, and visual-spatial ability.
