Abstract

Introduction: The Trail Making Test is a widely used test that assesses executive functions such as visual tracking, psychomotor speed, complex attention and mental flexibility. The main aim of this study is to evaluate the validity of the TMT in AD patients.Materials and Method: The study group covers 50 subjects with AD and 50 healthy subjects. The mean age was 73.98 years in AD group and 74.74 years in control group. The mean scores that were obtained from 8 subscores of the TMT were compared between both groups.Results: The TMT Time A, Time B, Time A+B, Time B-A, Correction B, Error A and Error B scores were significantly different between two groups. The estimated cut-off values for Time A, Time B, Time A+B, and Time B-A are 108 sec, 240 sec, 356 sec, and 112 sec, respectively.Conclusion: It is known that both parts of TMT are sensitive to progressive cognitive decline. It is suggested that Part A and B may differentiate demented from normal persons and Part B may detect early stages of the AD. Our results were in accordance with related literature, and revealed that the TMT is a valid a psychometric instrument in assessing Turkish AD patients.

Özet

Giriş: İz Sürme Testi (İST) görsel iz sürme, psikomotor hız, karmaşık dikkat ve zihinsel esneklik gibi yönetici işlevleri değerlendirmede yaygın olarak kullanılan bir testtir. Bu çalışmanın temel amacı, İST'nin Alzheimer hastaları (AH) için geçerliğini değerlendirmektir.Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya 50 AH ile 50 sağlıklı yaşlı birey denek olarak katılmıştır. AH grubunun yaş ortalaması 73.98, sağlıklı yaşlı grubunun yaş ortalaması 74.74'dür. İki grup İST'den alınan 8 alt puan açısından karşılaştırılmıştır.Bulgular: İki grup, İST A Süre, B Süre, A+B Süre, B-A Süre, B Düzeltme, A Hata ve B Hata puanları açısından anlamlı düzeyde farklıdır. A Süre, B Süre, A+B Süre ve B-A Süre alt testleri için kesme değerleri sırasıyla 108 sn, 240 sn, 356 sn ve 112 sn olarak belirlenmiştir.Sonuç: İST'nin her iki bölümünün de ilerleyici bilişsel gerilemeye duyarlı olduğu bilinmektedir. Bölüm A ve Bölüm B sağlıklı yaşlıları demanslı bireylerden ayırdedebilirken; Bölüm B, AH'yi erken evrede belirleyebilmektedir. Elde edilen sonuçlar ilgili litertürü desteklemiş ve İST'nin Türk Alzheimer hastalarının değerlendirilmesinde kullanılabilecek, psikometrik açıdan geçerli bir araç olduğunu göstermiştir.
