The scale turned out to be useful not only in providing emergency care at the prehospital stage, but also in assessing the condition of patients and injured at the hospital stage.
3.11. CLOCK DRAWING TEST TO ASSESS THE MENTAL STATE OF THE PATIENT
The simplicity and high informativity of this test, including in mild dementia, makes it one of the most commonly used tools for diagnosing clinical syndrome. The test is performed as follows. The patient is provided with a clean sheet of unlined pa­per and a pencil. Instructions are given: please draw a round clock with numbers on the dial so that the hands of the clock show without fifteen two. The patient must draw a circle on his own, put all 12 numbers in the right places and draw arrows pointing to the right positions. Normally, this task is never difficult. If errors occur, they are quantified on a 10-point scale. The performance of the tasks of this test is disrupted both in frontal dementias and in Alzheimer's dementia and dementias with a predominant damage to subcortical structures.
For differential diagnosis of these conditions, in case of incorrect independent drawing, the patient is asked to draw the arrows on the dial already drawn (by the doctor) with numbers. With frontal dementias and dementias with predominant dam­age to subcortical structures of light and moderate severity, only independent drawing suffers, while the ability to position arrows on an already drawn dial is preserved. With dementia of the Alzheimer's type, both independent drawing and the ability to position the arrows on an already finished dial are impaired. Test results may range from 0 to 18 points; with 18 points corresponding to the highest cognitive abilities.
