TY - JOUR PY - 2016// TI - Neuropsychological assessment of driving capacity JO - Archives of clinical neuropsychology A1 - Wolfe, Penny L. A1 - Lehockey, Katie A. SP - 517 EP - 529 VL - 31 IS - 6 N2 - Clinicians are increasingly requested to make determinations regarding patients' driving capacity in the context of neurological injury/conditions and a growing cohort of older drivers. The capability to drive safely involves a number of cognitive, physical, and sensorimotor abilities that may be impacted by injury, illness, or substances that influence alertness. Neuropsychological measures are an important component of a multidisciplinary approach for evaluation of driving capacity. Clinicians should become familiar with measures that have the best predictive validity so they may incorporate a patient's neurocognitive strengths and weaknesses in decisions about driving ability.
