Synopsis:
Clinical predictors of fitness-to-drive in Parkinson’s disease have previously been dichotomized into pass/fail categories. On road assessments, however, may result in two other classifications: pass with remediation or fail-remediable. Results from this study indicated that Trails B, Left Finger to Nose Test, and contrast sensitivity measures were significant predictors for the two passing subgroups.
