뇌병변 장애인의 운전능력과 측정방법에 관한 체계적 고찰

Abstract

This study aimed to systematically review and analyze the literature on the driving abilities and measurement methods of drivers with brain injuries PubMed, CINAHL, Medline, and Embase electronic databases were searched using keywords such as ‘automobile driving’, and ‘cerebrovascular disorders’ OR ‘traumatic brain injury’ OR ‘cerebral palsy’ from 2012 to 2022. The final selected articles were analyzed for the variables of driving ability measurement and its method. A total of 656 articles were identified, and four articles were included in the review. The measurements for the driving ability were 8, 6, and 5 factors based on a self-report, clinical test, and driving simulator, respectively. Drivers with traumatic brain injuries(TBI) tended to overestimate their driving abilities compared to stroke drivers and general population, and their actual frequency of traffic accidents was higher than stroke and TBI drivers. In addition, the studies that used a combination of various measurement methods appropriately evaluated the driving abilities. This study suggests various factors that can be used to evaluate driving abilities in clients with brain injuries, and present evaluation tools that can be used for each variable. These findings can serve as preliminary data for driving ability measurement and rehabilitation for individuals with brain injuries.
