It was found in 0/39 controls, 0 of 24 patients with frontotemporal dementia (FTD), 0 of 17 p atients with Parkinson disease (PD), and 30/42 patients with progressive supranu clear palsy (PSP). It discriminated PSP from FTD (p < 0.001) and PD (p < 0.00). The “ three clap test” correctly identified 81.8% of the patients in the co mparison PSP and FTD and 75% of the patients in the comparison of PSP and PD.展开更多
