Description

Clarissa Benzarti and co-authors review tools that assess sensory processing in dementia care, in work from 2025. Sensory programs are now common in dementia units, but results vary. Testing how a patient processes sound, touch, and light first could tailor the program to the person.

Such testing is routine for children, yet proof in Alzheimer disease and related dementias is thin. The review followed standard rules and searched five databases for studies from 1990 to 2023. Papers had to name both a sensory test and a dementia group. Two reviewers screened each paper on their own. The summary shows which tools have real support and where gaps remain.
