Abstract : Most of the developed societies are experiencing an aging trend of their
population. Aging is correlated with cognitive impairment such as dementia and its most
common type: Alzheimer's disease. So, there is an urgent need to develop technological tools
to help doctors to do early and precise diagnoses of cognitive decline.
Inability to correctly perform purposeful skilled movements with hands and other forelimbs
most commonly is associated with Alzheimer’s disease [1]. These patients have difficulty to
correctly imitate hand gestures and mime tool use, e.g. pretend to brush one’s hair. These
patients make spatial and temporal errors
