The assessments that demonstrated the strongest evidence of reliability and validity were the Executive Function Performance Test, the Multiple Errands Test and the Assessment of Motor and Process Skills. Only the Assessment of Motor and Process Skills has been adequately evaluated for its ability to detect change. In terms of clinical utility, the Kettle Test has the shortest administration time (i.e. less than 20 minutes) and requires limited equipment. CONCLUSIONS AND SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY: The Stroke-Specific Executive Function Toolkit provides clinicians with useful information that should facilitate identification of appropriate executive function tools for use across the continuum of stroke care.

“…Because the practice of occupational therapy emphasizes the analysis of occupational performance (AOTA, 2008), investigating methods of using more performance-based assessments to evaluate fitness to drive seems essential. An example of such a study is the performance-based Assessment of Motor and Process Skills (Fisher, 2006) and driving outcomes decisions (Dickerson, Reistetter, Schold Davis, & Monahan, 2011;Dickerson, Reistetter, & Trujillo, 2010), but much more work needs to be done in this area.…”

OBJECTIVE. This article describes the use of assessment tools by North American driver rehabilitation specialists (DRSs). PARTICIPANTS. Participants were 227 self-identified DRSs from the combined databases of two national associations. MEASURES. Information was solicited through a self-administered survey about the driving evaluation process, assessment tools, and process for making fitness-to-drive recommendations. RESULTS. More than 80% of the DRSs reported testing visual acuity, range of motion, muscle strength, and fine motor coordination. The most consistently used cognitive-perceptual tests were the Trail Making Tests, Motor-Free Visual Perception Test-Revised, and short cognitive screening tests. A client's behind-the-wheel performance was the main factor in making a fitness-to-drive recommendation. Few specialists are using computer-based tests or interactive driving simulators. CONCLUSION. Although use of the Useful Field of View(®) has increased, there continues to be no consistency in cognitive assessments or guidelines for behind-the-wheel assessment. Implications for practice are discussed.

“…In one study, poor performance on the Everyday Problems Test (Willis, Jay, Diehl & Marsiske, 1992), an untimed test about problem-solving in daily living skills, was shown to be a significant risk factor for driving cessation (HR = 1.59, P < 0.001) (Ackerman, Edwards, Ross, Ball & Lunsman, 2008). In another recent study, scores on the Assessment of Motor and Process Skills (Fisher, 1995) correctly identified older adults who failed the on-road evaluation or needed additional evaluation 87% of the time (using cut-off values of 1.2 logits for motor scores and 1.0 logits for process scores) (Dickerson, Reistetter & Trujullo, 2010).…”

Among the 53 tools, there were 27 general assessments of cognition, 19 driving-specific and seven activities of daily living/instrumental activities of daily living assessments. No single tool measured all executive function components: working memory was the most common (n = 20/53). Several tools demonstrated strong predictive validity and clinical utility. For example, tools, such as the Trail Making Test and the Maze Task, have the shortest administration time (i.e. often less than 10 minutes) and the most easily accessible method of administration (i.e. pen and paper or verbal). Driving-specific tools range from short questionnaires, such as the 10-minute Manchester Driving Behaviour Questionnaire, to more complex tools requiring about 45 minutes to administer. CONCLUSIONS AND SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY: The appropriateness of a tool depends on the individual being assessed and on practical constraints of the clinical context. The Driving Executive Function Tool Guide provides useful information that should facilitate decision-making and selection of appropriate executive function tools in relation to driving.
