Edinburgh Motor Assessment (EMAS)

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: thomas.bak@ed.ac.uk.
