Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
To assess the presence of paratonia all four limbs will be passively moved in flexion and extension with the participant in a sitting position. Paratonia is present when the assessors encounter all following 5 criteria during passive movement: * An involuntary variable resistance. * The degree of resistance varies depending on the speed of movement (e.g. a low resistance by slow movement and a high resistance by fast movement) * The resistance to passive movement can be in any direction * There is no clasp-knife phenomenon. * The resistance is in 2 movement direction in 1 limb or in 2 different limbs.	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
Timed up and Go test to assess the functional mobility [Podsiadlo et al., 1991] Qualidem for quality of life assessment [Ettema et al., 2005] Global deterioration Scale (GDS) and Mini Mental State examination (MMSE) to assess the severity of the dementia. Diagnosis of the dementia, the presence of cardio-vascular disease, m.Parkinson, Diabetes Mellitus and the use of neuroleptic medication will be obtained from the participants medical dossier.	—
