Overview
The CDR®-FTLD is the Clinical Dementia Rating (CDR) Dementia Staging Instrument developed at Washington University in St. Louis with the addition of the NACC frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD) module. The FTLD Module was implemented in 2012 as part of the UDS. The Module is aimed at evaluating those suffering from, or at risk for, any of the forms of frontotemporal lobar degeneration and assesses impairment in the behavior and language domains.
