Abstract
Objective:
To compare the Neurocognitive Driving Test (NDT) with an established driving assessment method.
Study Design:
A prospective matched-control study.
Participants:
Fifteen adult volunteers with acquired brain injury (ABI), aged 21-59 years, referred for a driving evaluation and 15 healthy control (HC) participants.
Methods:
Individuals with ABI were administered the NDT and a traditional hospital-based driving evaluation. An overall performance score was calculated and used to rank order driving ability. HCs were administered the NDT to establish NDT performance range.
Main Outcome Measures:
Overall performance on the NDT; overall performance on a comprehensive hospital-based evaluation.
Results:
Comparison of the rank orders of driving ability for participants with ABI revealed a significant Spearman correlation. NDT scores discriminated between individuals with ABI who passed the driving evaluation and those who failed.
Conclusions:
Results help establish the potential utility of the NDT for evaluating driving ability in persons with ABI.
