A method for assessing the navigational capacity in human subjects, and its use in diagnosing spatial disorientation in neurodegenerative diseases, such as, Alzheimer's disease. The method for assessing the navigational capacity includes conducting a spatial orientation test (100), recording the results of the test, analyzing the test results and making a determination of the navigational capacity of a human subject. In its most simple sense, navigational capacity includes the capacity not to get lost. The spatial orientation test includes various naturalistic navigation tasks that are each designed to assess specific areas of the navigational capacity of a subject.

L'invention concerne un procédé d'évaluation du sens de l'orientation chez des sujets humains, et l'utilisation du procédé pour diagnostiquer la désorientation spatiale dans des maladies neurodégénératives, telles que, par exemple, la maladie d'Alzheimer. Le procédé de l'invention consiste à: effectuer un test d'orientation spatiale; enregistrer les résultats du test; analyser les résultats du test et déterminer le sens de l'orientation chez un sujet humain. Dans son aspect le plus simple, le sens de l'orientation inclut la capacité de ne pas se perdre. Le test d'orientation spatiale comprend diverses épreuves d'orientation naturelle, chaque épreuve étant conçue pour évaluer des aspects spécifiques du sens de l'orientation d'un sujet.
