Description
This is a resource for professionals involved in determining the driving capacity of individuals with neurological involvement and or
trauma. While much work has been completed in this new and growing field, this is the first attempt to bring together clinical work on
assessing driving capacity for different clinical populations and conditions. Specific topics include, traumatic brain injury, stroke,
dementia, normal aging, medications, retraining, interventions, medical conditions, legal issues, practical issues, assessment instruments,
simulators, research and epidemiology. Each chapter will address clinically relevant issues specific to the clinical population. This
comprehensive compilation of driving assessment of cognitively compromised populations is the first of its kind and Dr. Schultheis is
regarded as a leader in the field.
Audience
Primary markets include neuopsychologists, neurologists, rehabilitation therapists, occupational therapists, physical medicine physicians.
Secondary markets include: policy makers, legal experts, driver safety professionals concerned with driving competence of clinical populations.
