Abstract
Edinburgh Motor Assessment (EMAS) is a brief motor screening test, specifically
designed for assessment of patients with dementia, aphasia and other cognitive
disorders. It focuses, therefore, on those motor symptoms, which are known to
occur in association with these diseases, such as extrapyramidal, amyotrophic,
and cerebellar features as well as complex cognitive‐motor phenomena such as
apraxia.
EMAS has been developed by a team of neurologists and psychiatrists at the
Anne Rowling Regenerative Neurology Clinic in Edinburgh led by Dr. Thomas H
Bak. If you wish to obtain additional information about the test or are interested
in collaborating on EMAS‐related projects, please contact Dr. Thomas H Bak:
