Give examples of some visual perceptual assessments
- Clock Drawing Test
- Ishira Color Test
- Optic Functional Visual Analyzer
- Symbol Digit Modalities Test
- Contrast Sensitivity
- Glare Recovery
- Depth Perception
What is the Cognitive Behavioral Driver’s Inventory?
computer-based for people with TBI to assess their driving skills
What is the Cognitive Linguistic Quick Test?
For adults with neurological impairment includes clock drawing
What is Drive ABLE?
Determine competence via cognitive tool and on-road evaluation.
What is the break reaction timer?
Time required to move the foot from the accelerator to the brakes in response to a stimulus such as red light.
What is an open road with fixed route?
Evaluate driving skills in neighborhood streets/intersection. Test under the same natural environment or infrastructures.
What is the naturalistic driving with instrumented vehicles?
under real world conditions with vehicle kinematics for data collection
What is Michon’s Hierarchy of Driving Behavior?
Strategic, tactical, and operational
What is strategic level?
Higher level of decision making like trip goals, mode of travel, and navigating routes.
What is tactical level?
Decisions made during driving maneuver like making left hand turns, slow to pass vehicle
What is operational level?
Decisions made while controlling the vehicle safely like visual motor coordination
Some interventions to do with a person with visual acuity problems?
Use corrective lens
at this point, client is slow to recognize signs and has a delayed environment response
Interventions to do with a person who has contrast sensitivity problems?
Avoid area, time of day, weather conditions with poor contrast
Interventions to do with a person who has field cut or scotoma problems?
Extra head turns, prism lens, restrict night driving
Interventions to do with a person who has stereopsis problems?
Learn to use environmental cues such as stopping lines or tires of the cars ahead
What is a stationary in-vehicle orientation assessment?
Client gets familiar wi tethst vehicle to assess ability to operate vehicle controls (like does he/she knows how to adjust seat, mirrors, put on seat belt)
What are some on-road/in-traffic eval?
Fixed Route (45-60 mins driving eval like driver’s test)
and Variable Route (more occupation centered, client’s community/typical routes)
Driving controls: Primary control does what? and what are some OT adaptations?
Engages when vehicle is in motion.
Affects direction/speed (steering wheel, gas pedal)
Adaptations include: extended pedal, L accelerator, hand controls, pedal guard (prevent leg from pressing much due to spasm)
Driving controls: Secondary control does what?
must be accessible when active vehicle is in motion. but do not affect direction or speed (turn on signals)
Driving controls: Tertiary control does what?
Do not need to be activated when vehicle is moving like ignition, gear, AC
What is fixed route as a form of public transportation?
Schedule routine in between suchas subway, train, light trail.
Good for clients who are able to read schedule, plan ahead, judge spatial relationships, budget for fair, ask directions, adjust emotions for unexpected events.
What is paratransit?
Transportation alternatives operate for clients with fx impairments limit ability to access fixed route services.
