Yamaguchi fox–pigeon imitation test (YFPIT) for dementia in clinical practice

Background:  In out‐patient clinics, having simple procedures to check for signs of dementia is invaluable. In the present study, we evaluated the imitation of hand gestures to detect visuomotor deficits in dementia in clinical practice.
