AOTA Driving and Driver Rehab Flashcards
define contrast sensitivity
how well a person can discern objects with fuzzy, poorly defined edges or low-contrast objects that may be only slightly brighter or darker than their surroundings
define depth perception
ability to perceive the environment in three dimensions and to unnderstand the distance of objects in relation to each other; created by stereopsis
define ocular movement
includes ocular ROM, convergence, divergence, saccades, and vertical and lateral phorias.
define useful field of view
used to determine crash risk. assesses central vision loss and cognitive processing speed, dividied attention, selective attention
what does the AMPs measure?
Assessment of Motor and Process Skills (AMPS)
assesses quality fo performance in completing standardized ADL task
what does the MMSE measure?
assesses cognitive function including domains of comprehension, reading, wriring, drawing task, arithmetic, memeory and orientation
what does the MoCA measure
Montreal Cognitive Assessment
cognitive function assessment including domains of memory recall, visuospatial abilities, and executive function
what are the different types of on road evaluation?
closed route - performed in area without traffic and pedestrians, such as vacated or ilimted access parking lot.
open road with fixed route - course assessment using neighborhood streets and intersections with naturally occuring traffic and other road users.
naturalisitic driving and instrumented vehicles - real world conditions with data collection
simulators - driving simulators
what are michons heirarchy of driving behaviors?
strategic level
tactical level
operational level
what are some compensatory strategies that can be used for visual performance skills deficits?
corrective lenses, avoid areas during certian times of day, restricted night driving
what are some compensatory strats that cna be used for visual field deficits?
prism lenses, extra head turns and frequent eye movements
what are some compensatory strats that can be used for visual attention deficits
increase insight into and impact of neglect
what are some compensatory strats that cna be used with ocular motor skills deficits
visual search patterns/scanning techniques, environmental cuing, sequencing of traffic lights and shapes of signs.
what are some compensatory strats that cna be used with visual cognition deficits
limit driving to faimliar areas, limit night driving
what are some compenastory strats that can be used with cognitive deficits
limit driving to familiar areas and only during the day
