Driving Behavior Errors Exhibited by Patients with Higher Brain Dysfunction in Evaluation Situations

Abstract

  Identifying destructive driving behaviors via empirical on-road assessments can contribute to a heightened comprehension of the underlying mechanisms responsible for hazardous driving among patients with higher brain dysfunction due to brain injury. Concurrently, rehabilitation protocols aimed at restoring driving abilities impaired post-brain injury can concentrate on these areas, elevating the chances of intervention efficacy and potency. This report furnishes a synopsis of the problematic driving practices of individuals with brain injury. It presents the findings of a study by the authors evaluating the extent of difficulty in driving behaviors among this population.
