Abstract:
Functional difficulties occur in all patients with Alzheimer's disease. Instrumental skills (shopping, handling money) are involved first, then self-care activities (toileting, dressing). Drug trials in intermediate stage Alzheimer's disease should monitor self-care activities with structured diaries and rating scales.
