The Useful Field of View (UFOV) is a measure of visual information processing that is a good predictor of vehicle crash risk in older adults. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to explore the possibility that UFOV is compromised after TBI. DESIGN: UFOV performance of 23 TBI survivors and 18 young adults without neurological impairment were compared. CONCLUSION: TBI survivors had higher UFOV scores than young adults, which indicated a greater functional loss of peripheral vision. The results suggest that the UFOV may be a valuable instrument for assessing driving readiness in TBI survivors. Langue : ANGLAIS Tiré à part : OUI Identifiant basis : 2002221961 |
