“…Recent studies as well as current models of older driver behavior all underline the fact that driving competency is multi-factorial and that the multiple factors involved interact with one another (Anstey et al, 2005;Dickerson and Bédard, 2014;Kamenhoff, 2008;Michon, 1985;Wood et al, 2008). However, the precise cognitive and motor components as well as their interactions have yet to be fully revealed (Bédard et al, 2008;Fildes 2008;Leproust et al, 2008;Wheatley and Di Stefano, 2008). Although very informative, models have failed to generate indicators of driving safety.…”

“…The vehicle driver cabin can be defined as the space envelope which contains the seat, dashboard, and driving controls, under dash lower limb compartment, and central cabin space which may house hand brake, internal mirrors, and secondary controls such as climate, navigational, and other devices. OTs and OTDAs provide services to a broad range of drivers with various sensory, perceptual/cognitive, and motor limitations (Bradshaw et al 2013;Stav 2004;Wheatley and Di Stefano 2008). In this chapter, we focus predominantly on drivers with physical and sensory impairments in our discussion.…”

“…Al enfrentarnos ante esta interrogante hay que considerar primero las implicancias éticas y legales pues, como ya se mencionó, son múltiples las áreas que se ven afectadas tanto si se le entrega como o si se le niega a una persona la licencia para conducir. Tampoco hay que olvidar que como médicos debemos respetar el derecho de confiabilidad del paciente, pero no poner en riesgo ni a él ni a su entorno y, por sobretodo, respetar la Ley de Tránsito vigente en nuestro país 5 . Otros puntos importantes que no se deben olvidar, son la consignación de todos los medicamentos que está utilizando la persona y tener claros los efectos que estos pueden acarrear sobre la calidad de la conducción.…”

“…Colocar al paciente tras el volante y lograr que pueda dar una vuelta en el automóvil sigue siendo uno de los pilares más sólidos en la resolución final 23 . Es primordial siempre tener en cuenta que no basta con que la persona sea capaz de girar el volante, frenar y acelerar, sino que conducir un vehículo conlleva muchos pasos más, que van desde poder abrir la puerta del auto hasta poder descender de él (Tabla 3).…”
