Loewenstein Occupational Therapy Cognitive Assessment (LOTCA) Battery II
The Loewenstein Occupational Therapy Cognitive Assessment (LOTCA) is a series of tests designed for the intellectually disabled that can be used to measure a person’s cognitive processing ability after trauma or due to an exisiting condition. These tests are considered valid for persons above the age of six (6) and have shown in studies to be considered a valid representation of a person’s cognitive ability. Geriatric patients are an excellent group for these tests to be used (provided one uses the LOTCA-G, a seperate testing method) for evaluation purposes.
The LOTCA battery II is designed for rehabilitation purposes, and consists of four (4) sub-tests measuring thinking operations, visual motor ability, spatial and visual perception and spacial orientation. In a 2009 study published in the American Journal of Occupational Therapy the LOTCA Battery was found to be a suitable, reliable test for measuring a persons cognitive ability, and would be very useful in determining what therapy would be appropriate for a patient.
