Clinical ratings, while simple to administer, provide a poor estimation of PD performance of instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs). Declines in IADL performance are of particular importance, as recent population-based cohort studies indicate that IADL decline pre-dates clinical diagnosis of PD by 5-7 years and predict the transition from independence to dependent care settings.
