通过远程医疗对患有神经疾病的个人进行远程评估，有可能减轻与临床护理和研究参与相关的一些负担。我们的目标是评估远程对运动障碍患者进行蒙特利尔认知评估的可行性。一项来自两个远程医疗试验的试点研究被进行了。总共有17名运动障碍患者(8名帕金森病患者和9名亨廷顿病患者)接受了蒙特利尔认知评估考试，并通过基于网络的视频会议进行了面对面和远程评估，以初步确定其远程管理的可行性和潜在障碍。对患有轻度认知障碍的运动障碍患者进行远程评估是可行的，只有与技术相关的轻微常见并发症，包括连接速度较慢的参与者的声音延迟和图像损坏。蒙特利尔认知评估有可能用于对患有运动障碍的患者和研究参与者进行远程评估。
Remote assessments of individuals with a neurological disease via telemedicine have the potential to reduce some of the burdens associated with clinical care and research participation. We aim to evaluate the feasibility of conducting the Montreal Cognitive Assessment remotely in individuals with movement disorders. A pilot study derived from two telemedicine trials was conducted. In total, 17 individuals with movement disorders (8 with Parkinson disease and 9 with Huntington disease) had Montreal Cognitive Assessment examinations evaluated in-person and remotely via web-based video conferencing to primarily determine feasibility and potential barriers in its remote administration. Administering the Montreal Cognitive Assessment remotely in a sample of movement disorder patients with mild cognitive impairment is feasible, with only minor common complications associated with technology, including delayed sound and corrupted imaging for participants with low connection speeds. The Montreal Cognitive Assessment has the potential to be used in remote assessments of patients and research participants with movement disorders.
