Summary:To translate into Russian and adapt the Edinburgh Cognitive and Behavioral ALS Screen (ECAS) for patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Medical care for ALS patients requires participation of a multidisciplinary team. More than one third of patients with ALS suffer from cognitive and behavioral disturbances, and it influences decisions of the team, patients and family. The scale for measuring of these disturbances should be rapid and understandable for evaluation and take into account the specificity of cognitive and behavioral impairments in ALS. ECAS met these criteria and allows screening examination of patients with ALS at different stages of movement impairment.
