Abstract

The study was carried out to evaluate and develop simple tools to assess the driving fitness of brain-damaged patients. Four neuropsychological tests (predictors) were validated against an open-road driving test (criterion standard), which is used by the Department of Adaptations of the Dutch Driving Licensing Agency for assessing disabled drivers. The predictor tests were conducted in the involved scientific institute; the criterion standard involved participation in normal traffic. The subject group consisted of 33 men and 5 women who had recovered to a stabilized level from traumatic brain injuries. All had valid driving licenses when they were injured and they were considered to be potentially able to recommence driving. The subjects had a mean reported driving experience of 109.200km (SD = 86.300km). All subjects were recovered from a brain trauma with an average coma duration of 33 days (SD = 51 days). They were tested at least 1 year after the accident. All the subjects had normal or corrected-to-normal vision and none used medications that, according to existing medical criteria, interfere with normal psychomotor or cognitive functioning. Ages at the time of the injury were between 17 and 55 years (mean, 29.8; SD, 10.9)...Continue Reading
