The MMSE is a brief,
quantitative measure of cognitive status in adults. It can be used to
screen for cognitive impairment, to estimate the severity of cognitive
impairment at a given point in time, to follow the course of cognitive
changes in an individual over time, and to document an individual’s
response to treatment.
The standard MMSE form published by PAR is based on its original 1975
conceptualization, with minor subsequent modifications by the authors.
The MMSE has demonstrated validity and reliability in psychiatric, neurologic,
geriatric, and other medical populations. The convenient new “all-in-one”
test form includes a detachable sheet with stimuli for the Comprehension,
Reading, Writing, and Drawing tasks. The form also includes alternative
item substitutions for administration in special circumstances.
The pocket-size User’s
Guide provides detailed instructions for standard administration and scoring
for each MMSE task, as well as recommended cutoff scores for use in classifying
the severity of cognitive impairment. This handy pocket guide also provides
population-based normative data (by age and years of education), which
are useful for comparing an individual’s MMSE Total score with the
appropriate reference group, or when interpreting the scores of individuals
who are illiterate, who have had less than 9 years of schooling, or who
are 80 years of age or older.
MMSE Clinical Guide with
Pocket Norms Card
The Clinical Guide by Marshal F. Folstein, MD, Susan E.
Folstein, MD, and Gary Fanjiang, MD, describes the development, validation,
administration, and interpretation of the MMSE. Normative data (T
scores) for age and education groups are provided in the Appendix, as
a supplement to the traditional interpretation of the MMSE raw scores.
-
Chapters in the Clinical Guide contain in-depth information
about using the MMSE as part of the diagnostic process and highlight
the instrument's usefulness in guiding psychiatric or medical treatment.
-
A handy, laminated Pocket Norms Card provides the
raw score to T-score conversions for 14 age and education groups–making
it ideal for use in clinical settings.
Mental Status Reporting Software (MSRS) -
Unlimited-use software provides scoring, interpretation, and report generation
for the MMSE – click here for
