We herein propose a hand-gesture imitation test, consisting of a simple one-handed sign of a 'fox' and a complex two-handed sign of a 'pigeon', as a rapid, game-like test for detecting dementia/Alzheimer disease (AD) with low psychological burden. The test measures the visuomotor function, which deteriorates in the early stages of AD.
