Assessment of Driving Related Skills
computer based assessment battery to assess domains of vision, cognition, and motor function as they pertain to increased crash risk
Driving Health Inventory
driving assessment performed in an area without traffic and pedestrians to assess knowledge and understanding of vehicle features and vehicle control at low speeds
closed route on-road evaluation
driving assessment that uses neighborhood streets and intersections with naturally occurring traffic and other road users; extraneous variable can be controlled; increasingly complex
open road with fixed route
driving assessment that occurs under real-world conditions with data collection occurring through vehicle instrumentation such as video, and vehicle kinematics
naturalistic driving and instrumented vehicles
assessment instrument that captures information about avoidance behaviors that are often identified as compensatory strategies to older drivers
driving habits questionnaire
helps clients look at their driving knowledge and skill in relation to their health conditions and medications
SAFER driving: the enhanced driving decisions workbook
hierarchy of driving behavior that involves higher level decision making to determine trip goals, mode of travel, and navigating or mapping routes
strategic level
hierarchy of driving behavior that involves decisions made during driving maneuvers including making left-hand turns or slowing to pass a vehicle
tactical level
hierarchy of driving behavior that involves decisions made to control the vehicle safely by executing the necessary visual-motor or coordination skills
operational level
depth perception
stereopsis
assessment of driving in the clients community (occupation-centered); used for planning and decreasing risk
variable route
controls that are engaged when the vehicle is in motion and affect direction and speed of the vehicle
primary controls
controls installed under the steering column; acceleration activated by pushing the hand control lever to the knee and breaks activated by pushing the level forward at a right angle from the dash
push-right angle hand controls
controls installed only on the left side with L-shaped handle that rocks backward for gas and forward for breaking
push-rock hand controls
controls installed on either side that twists similar to a motor cycle throttle to accelerate and break when the handle is released and pushed forward
push-twist style hand controls
controls mounted on either side under the steering column with acceleration achieved by pulling back and braking achieved by pushing forward
push-pull hand controls
controls accessible when the vehicle is in motion but does not affect the speed or direction of the vehicle (turn signals, horn, dimmer, wipers, cruise control)
secondary controls
controls that do not need to be activated when the vehicle is in motion but must be accessible to the client (ignition, gear shift, AC)
tertiary controls
reasoning used to determine what activities to use to increase clients level of functional independence in consideration of the disease or disability
procedural reasoning
reasoning used during face to face experience with the client to get the clients perspective on the illness, injury, or disability and to involved the client in goal making for the intervention plan
interactive reasoning
reasoning that occurs when the bigger picture is evaluated; practitioner reviews the clients functional status before the disability and at present
conditional reasoning
ability to perceive object form by touch
