Fahreignung bei Multipler Sklerose

Abstract

Driving is an important issue for young patients, especially for those whose walking capacity is impaired. Driving might support the patient's social and vocational participation. The question as to whether a patient with multiple sclerosis (MS) is restricted in the ability to drive a car depends on neurological and neuropsychological deficits, self-awareness, insight into deficits and ability to compensate for loss of function. Because of the enormous variability of symptoms in MS the question is highly individualized. A practical driving test under supervision of a driving instructor (possibly accompanied by a neuropsychologist) might be helpful in providing both patient and relatives adequate feedback on driving abilities.

Kognition und Kraftfahreignung bei chronischem Schmerzsyndrom

“…Als Ergänzung können Fahrsimulatoren sowohl zur Fahreignungsprüfung als auch beim Training eingesetzt werden [ 7 ]. Trotz nachgewiesener Evidenz werden Fahrsimulatoren noch nicht standardmäßig eingesetzt [ 61 ]. Tab.…”

The influence of THC:CBD oromucosal spray on driving ability in patients with multiple sclerosis‐related spasticity

“…In particular, patients with MS with cognitive impairment have a higher incidence of accidents compared with controls and patients with MS without cognitive impairment (Badenes et al, 2014;Schultheis, Garay, Millis, & Deluca, 2002). Various authors suggest that patients with MS should undergo frequent medical assessments and/or driving tests to retain their driving licenses given the progressive nature of the disease (Badenes et al, 2014;Knecht, 1977;Küst & Dettmers, 2014). During driving simulation testing, patients with relapsing-remitting MS had an increased number of accidents and concentration faults compared with healthy controls (Kotterba, Orth, Eren, Fangerau, & Sindern, 2003).…”
