Abstract
Both the FAB and MoCA detected cognitive impairment in ALS patients. While the MoCA classified more patients as cognitively impaired than the FAB, the latter was more feasible for assessing patients with physical impairment. Simple task modifications proved effective in allowing patients with speech and motor impairments to undergo screening. Future studies are required to validate both measures, establish optimal cut-off scores, and validate modifications.
