Divergent Functional Capacity in Alzheimer's Disease and Frontotemporal Dementia: Insights from the Peruvian Adaptation of the Amsterdam Instrumental Activities of Daily Living Questionnaire
Findings revealed that FTD patients were significantly more impaired on tasks such as cooking and using appliances compared to AD patients, likely due to early executive dysfunction. These results will be important for carers and clinicians developing effective strategies to manage functional deficits.
