Some praxis subtests can have higher predictive diagnostic value for detecting Alzheimer's disease in mild stages (total praxis AUC = 0.858; P < 0.0001; constructive AUC = 0.972; P < 0.0001). Constructive praxis as measured using CAMCOG may contribute towards diagnosing dementia, because occurrence of impairment of praxis may help in recognizing an evolving dementia syndrome.
