Abstract

As part of a longitudinal study of dementia, 35 elderly patients with dementia were studied, correlating frontal release signs and performance on components of the Mattis Dementia Rating Scale. A frontal release score was developed using glabellar, palmar grasp, plantar grasp, and palmomental signs. There was a direct relationship between the frontal release score and the Initiation and Perseveration component of the Mattis Dementia Rating Scale. This relationship persisted between isolated glabellar sign findings and the Initiation and Perseveration component of the Mattis Dementia Rating Scale. These findings are highly preliminary. Refining frontal release sign testing and frontal lobe mental status testing may strengthen their relationship and lead to a better understanding of dementia and its progression.
