Pronounced Impairment of Activities of Daily Living in Posterior Cortical Atrophy.

CONCLUSION: This study shows the profound impact of PCA on ADLs and factors underpinning patients' disability. Attention/orientation deficits were found to correlate and contribute to variance in ADL scores. Future work to develop tailored interventions to manage ADL impairment in PCA should take these findings into account. PMID: 32320973 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
