Unified Huntington's Disease Rating Scale
Basic information
Name: Unified Huntington's Disease Rating Scale
Abbreviation: UHDRS
Versions: 1
Synonyms: 79
Description: Unified Huntington's Disease Rating Scale, UHDRS (Huntington Study Group, 1996): It is a complex scale that assesses clinical and functional manifestations in four domains, namely: motor function (15 items, scored from 0 to 4); cognitive function (including a phonetic verbal fluency test, the Symbol Digit Modalities Test, and the Stroop Interference Test); behavioral abnormalities (rating frequency and severity of symptoms from 0 to 4); and functional capacity (including the Huntington's Disease functional capacity scale, scored on a 0- to 2- or 3-point scale; the Independence scale, scored from 10 to 100; and a checklist of common daily tasks, rated by means of yes/no response options). The UHDRS has shown satisfactory responsiveness in follow-up studies and clinical trials. Although its psychometric properties were adequate, its length and administrative load were criticized, and so a shortened version of the motor section of the UHDRS (15 items) was subsequently developed and validated (Siesling et al., 1997).
