Adaptation and validation of the Erlangen activities of daily living test to the Latin American cultural area
This study is testing a Spanish-language, Mexico-adapted version of a hands-on test that measures everyday skills, like the tasks of daily living, in people with mild cognitive impairment or dementia. It is checking whether the test gives reliable, accurate results. It is a validation study of an assessment tool, not a treatment, and no phase applies.

- No paralysis of upper extremities
- Fluent oral Spanish sufficient to understand and follow test instructions
- Availability of a close caregiving relative who provides consent, agrees to participate in the study-related survey and answers the peer-rating scales, supports the participant’s involvement.
