Abstract—The authors developed a performance measuring method for motor control function. Using the method, patients suspected of dementia were measured the performance of their motor control function. The method used needs only 25 seconds to complete. It is safe, simple and non-invasive. The relation between the performance of motor control function and mini-mental state examination is discussed. Some parameters of the measurements of motor control function and the score of MMSE shows high correlation. MMSE sub-problem that represents the function of unevenly distributed in cerebellum, link to the parameter of the hand dominated by the brain dominant hemisphere.
