Mini‐Linguistic State Examination (MLSE): Preliminary Normative Data for the French‐Canadian Version of an International Screening Tool for Primary Progressive Aphasia

The fc-MLSE is a rapid and examiner-consistent language test, validated with a large population of healthy controls. It can be helpful for clinical classification of PPA variants, and might represent a valuable tool for follow-up trial monitoring in PPA, AD and other neurodegenerative diseases affecting language. More generally, the use of MLSE versions developed in 22 countries will improve the consistency/uniformity of language assessments at the international level.
