Synopsis:

Age-related declines may impact an older adult’s fitness-to-drive. The Fitness-to-Drive Screening Measure (FTDS) is a web-based tool designed to assist proxy raters in identifying at-risk drivers. Caregivers, alongside occupational therapists and other health professionals, can use the results of this screening measure to make decisions about driving rehabilitation and continued driving.
