Outline of Final Research Achievements |
To assess the driving ability of patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD), we evaluated clinical profile by Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS), Mini Mental State Examination(MMSE),Frontal Assessment Battery (FAB), Benton visual retention test (Benton), trail making test parts A & B(TMT-A & TMT-B)at the university hospital, and driving data by the CRT (cathode ray tube) examiner and driving simulator at the Driving License Centre, on 10 PD patients and 4 their healthy spouses as controls. There is no difference on MMSE, FAB, TMT-A, TMT-B, or TMT-A/TMT-B. But the number of mistakes of Benton was higher in PD groups than controls (p=0.036). There was significant difference on pedaling time of the CRT examiner between patients and spouses. The direct scoring of videotaped records of each simulation scene according to the criteria (Agnelli A, 2009) showed some correlation with TMT-B, TMT-A/TMT-B or variables of the CRT examiner.
