“…Most studies used a crosssectional study design (n5 15, 68.1%). Four studies were controlled clinical trials, 30,38,42,49 2 studies used a prospective cohort design, 3,13 and one used a retrospective cohort design that involved registry data from a hospital emergency department. 39 The mean age of the participants ranged from 33 to 69 years.…”

“…Four studies (67%) found no differences in response time between drivers with CP and healthy controls. 6,47,49,58 However, 2 studies (44%) reported that drivers with CP have longer response times to hazardous events compared with healthy controls. 30,42 The considerable variability between study designs and differences in pain magnitude of participants with CP in different studies make interpretation difficult.…”

“…Takasaki et al 46 Reaction time was measured by the divided attention tasks among these scenarios (freeway, residential, and central business district 3) There were no statistically significant differences in any measure of divided attention tests in any of the 3 scenarios between the control and the whiplash-associated disorder groups. Talusam et al 49 Breaking reaction time (BRT) measured with the Stationary Simple Reaction Timer (SSRT) • Preinjection pain relief reaction time in participants with chronic pain Experimental (Right foot/ankle) group mean BRT 0.8 seconds SD 0.23 control (left foot/ankle) group mean BRT 0.75 seconds SD 0.12 • Postinjection pain relief reaction time in participants with chronic pain Experimental (Right foot/ankle) group mean BRT 0.78 sec SD 0.16 control (left foot/ankle) group mean BRT 0.77 seconds SD 0.12 • Healthy control Mean 0.57 sec SD 0.11 (Reference) 0.7 seconds is the threshold that was used to determine the breaking reaction time as safe. This is the cut-off supported by the United States Federal Highway Administration.…”

“…Even after surgery and joint prostheses, restrictions in fitness to drive may persist for some time. For example, Jordan and colleagues [186] found that after a knee joint replacement, the braking time was prolonged and that the initial values before the operation were only reached again after six weeks. Patients should therefore not restart driving until six weeks after knee joint surgery.…”

Due to demographic changes, the number of older drivers is steadily increasing. Mobility is highly relevant for leading an independent life in the elderly. It largely depends on car driving, which is a complex task requiring a multitude of cognitive and motor skills vulnerable to age- related functional deterioration. The almost inevitable effects of senescence may be potentiated by age-related diseases, such as stroke or diabetes mellitus. Respective pharmacological treatment may cause side effects, additionally affecting driving safety. The present article reviews the impact of age-related diseases and drug treatment of these conditions on driving fitness in elderly drivers. In essence, we focus on diseases of the visual and auditory systems, diseases of the central nervous system (i.e., stroke, depression, dementia and mild cognitive disorder, and Parkinson’s disease), sleep disorders, as well as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes mellitus, musculoskeletal disorders, and frailty. We will outline the role of functional tests and the assessment of driving behavior (by a driving simulator or in real traffic), as well as the clinical interview including questions about frequency of (near) accidents, etc. in the evaluation of driving fitness of the elderly. We also address the impact of polypharmacy on driving fitness and end up with recommendations for physicians caring for older patients.

“…The BRT is a measure of cognitive and psychomotor performance and has been used in traffic accident prevention research to assess driving capability in various populations [10][11][12]. BRT is defined as the time interval between the appearance of an unexpected road event (the stimulus) and the complete execution of an emergency stop.…”

Abstract:Patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA) often ask when they can safely resume driving. Answering this question is an important matter, which might entail legal and insurance issues. In the present review, the following questions are addressed: What is the quality of the existing literature on this issue? When does the Brake Response Time (BRT) return to baseline values after right and left TKA? Are BRT components, reaction time (RT), and movement time (MT) equally affected after right and left TKA? Are there gender differences regarding the influence of TKA on BRT and its recovery? An electronic systematic search was performed on Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), Web of Science, and PubMed. Ten studies investigating the effects of TKA on driving performance were included. The quality assessment was made with a 12-item assessment tool adapted from the "Quality Assessment Tool for Observational Cohort and Cross-Sectional Studies" of the National Institute of Health. The quality of the existing studies varies, with all studies having methodological weak points. TKA causes an MT delay, which affects BRT negatively. The mean number of days for BRT to return to baseline values was 44 ± 19 (95% C.I. [29 to 58]) and 20 ± 15 (95% C.I. [2 to 38]) after right and left TKA, respectively. As shown by the wide 95% C.I. of the mean, these values can increase to higher numbers. Based on the weighted mean values, a driving abstinence of at least six weeks after right TKA and three weeks after left TKA should be recommended. Due to the discrepancies found in results, further high quality studies are necessary.
