Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Development of cognitive profiles to assess FTDr in HD patients determined by an regression analysis. For each variable z-scores will be calculated. These z-scores will then be combined into four categories: 1. Cognitive speed and attention including the following test variables: Rey complex figure, TMT-A, Stroop I-III, SDMT, Category fluency, ATAVT, and RT S1-S2. 2. Executive functions, including the following test variables: TMT-B, Letter fluency, and SWOV. 3. Social cognitive functions, including the following test variables: FEEST and IGT. 4. Procedural driving skills, including the following test variables: Swingdrives fixed and free, Intersections, and Merging. With these categories we will perform a regression analysis to determine the predictive value of each category for FTDr in HD.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Other questions that will be addressed during the course of the study are: • Is there a relationship between levels of self-awareness, as measured by tests that call upon self-awareness (i.e. the SWOV, WRBTV, and Swingdrive), and the result of the on-road driving test? • What is the relationship between UHDRS motor score and FTDr?
