Abstract
La evaluación neuropsicológica se caracteriza por intentar, a través de diferentes instrumentos, de realizar una aproximación en relación al desempeño cognitivo real y la posible afectación cerebral que pudiese presentar una persona. Si bien existe una amplia gama de test de evaluación, en la gran mayoría se debe realizar alguna tarea motora, lo que altera los parámetros de sensibilidad de la misma al intentar evaluar a individuos con problemas motores, ya sean los propios de la edad avanzada, o los originados por algún cuadro neurológico. El objetivo de la presente revisión es proponer una batería cognitiva breve basada en evidencia para evaluar a los adultos mayores que posean problemas motores, en la cual no sea necesario que el evaluado ejecute alguna tarea con sus extremidades. Se propone, basado en lo anterior, una batería conformada por el test de las fotos, pruebas de fluencia verbal y test de Pfeiffer.
The neuropsychological assessment is characterized by trying, through different instruments, to make an approximation in relation to the real cognitive performance and the possible brain affectation that a person could present. Although there is a wide range of evaluation tests, the vast majority must perform a motor task, which alters the sensitivity and specificity of the same when trying to evaluate an individual with motor problems, whether they are typical of old age, or originated by some neurological disease. The objective of the present review is to propose a brief cognitive battery based on evidence to evaluate older adults who have motor problems, in which it is not necessaryforthe elderlyto perform ataskwith his limbs. It is proposed, based on the above, a battery consisting on Phototest, verbal fluency tests and Pfeiffertest.
