Abstract
Objective: This study aimed to assess activities of daily living (ADLs) through questionnaires and performance-based tasks in Parkinson disease (PD) and to relate their execution with memory and visuospatial abilities. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted with 85 participants (55 PD and 30 controls). Results: Parkinson disease achieved a significant lower performance in Assessment of Motor and Process Skills (AMPS) tasks. Those with PD spent less time in ADLS. In PD with lower cognitive level, visuospatial functions were significantly related with performance-based ADLs. Conclusion: Our results underline the clinical value of using performance-based task for the assessment of cognitive deficits associated with neurological disease in the elderly.
