How do you know if you should or shouldn’t be driving?
Research has found that information processing and visuospatial
skills are predictive of driving performance among persons with MS.
Cognitive tests, specifically the Symbol Digit Modalities Test (SDMT)
and the Spatial Recall Test (SPART 7/24), may be useful as screening
methods for identifying the potential impact of cognitive impairment on
driving (Schultheis, 2010).
However, Dr. Akinwuntan, a professor at Georgia Health Sciences
University, says that the current practice is to administer 15 to 22
different tests that can last up to three hours and cost as much as $450
to patients with MS who need to be evaluated for driving
