Q

Clock Drawing Test

A

The client is asked to reproduce the face of a clock set to a specific time. This test may detect difficulties with visuospatial skills, visual perception, selective attention, memory, abstract thinking, and executive functioning.

2
Q

Ishihara Color Test

A

This measure of color perception

tests for red or green color deficiencies and was first published in 1917 by Dr. Shinobu Ishihara.

3
Q

Glare recovery:

A

This test assesses vision impairment and how quickly a person recovers vision after exposure to a bright light source.

4
Q

Letter and number cancellation

A

These assessments test visual scanning and selective attention as a client scans a grouping of letters and has to select and draw a line through the targeted letter (H).

5
Q

Motor-Free Visual Perception Test, Third Edition

A

assesses a person’s visual–perceptual ability in the domains of spatial re-
lationships, visual closure, visual discrimination, visual memory, and figure–ground. No motor involvement is needed to make a response.

6
Q

Ocular movement

A

Ocular movement, including ocular ROM, convergence, divergence, saccades,
and the vertical and lateral phorias, is assessed functionally by the clinician (drawing the letter H
or a triangle and requesting that clients follow the pattern with their eyes) or by the Optec 2500 or
5500 Functional Visual Analyzer

7
Q

Optec Functional Visual Analyzer (Stereo Optical Co., Chicago

A

This tool assesses a variety of visual
skills by providing a series of illuminated slides addressing areas such as depth perception, acuity,
contrast sensitivity, phorias, glare recovery, and color perception and recognition

8
Q

Symbol Digit Modalities Test

A

This test assesses neurocognitive function underlying
many substitution tasks, including attention, visual scanning, and motor speed. It is a timed test in
which clients are asked to match numbers to a series of symbols according to a reference key using
paper and pencil.

9
Q

Useful Field of View

A

This three-part computer-based cognitive assessment is used to determine crash risk. It assesses (1) central vision loss and cognitive processing speed, (2) divided attention, and (3) selective attention. After completing the three tests, clients are categorized according to a 5-point rating scale ranging from very low crash risk to very high crash risk.

10
Q

Visual acuity:

A

The Snellen wall chart is used to test static acuity at varied distances.

11
Q

Visual field tests:

A

Visual field is the range of view people can see as they look ahead, without eye or
head movements. Restrictions in this field can be identified using the Humphrey® Field Analyzer
for the 24o to 30o visual field radius or the Goldmann perimetry test for mid to far peripheral vision

12
Q

DriveABLE

A

This standardized evaluation to determine driver competence consists of two parts: the computer-based DriveABLE Cognitive Assessment Tool and the DriveABLE On Road Evaluation.

13
Q

Porteus Maze Test

A

This paper-and-pencil tracing activity is correlated with on-road driving performance. It is not timed.

14
Q

Mini-Mental State Examination, Second Edition

A

This brief assessment of cognitive function includes the domains of comprehension, reading, writing,
drawing tasks, arithmetic, memory, and orientation.

15
Q

Montreal Cognitive Assessment

A

This brief assessment of cognitive function
includes the domains of memory recall, visuospatial abilities, and executive function. It includes a
clock drawing test.

16
Q

Assessment of rules of the road and sign recognition:

A

The practitioner assesses the areas of symbolic recognition, reasoning, and judgment pertaining to driving rules and statutes.

17
Q

Neurobehavioral Cognitive Status Examination

A

This examination is available in paper- and computer-based formats. It is a brief neurocognitive as-
sessment that includes the domains of consciousness, orientation, attention span, language, con-
structional ability, memory, calculation, and reasoning and judgment.

18
Q

Assessment of rules of the road and sign recognition:

A

The practitioner assesses the areas of symbolic recognition, reasoning, and judgment pertaining to driving rules and statutes.

19
Q

Short Blessed Test

A

This brief 6-item assessment is used to identify cognitive function related to dementia. The test assesses the domains of memory, orientation, and concentration.

20
Q

Short Blessed Test

A

This brief 6-item assessment is used to identify cognitive function related to dementia. The test assesses the domains of memory, orientation, and concentration.

21
Q
  1. Trail Making Test, Parts A and B
A

The Trail Making Test is a paper-and-pencil assessment measuring cognitive flexibility, motor control, perceptual complexity, visual scanning, and executive function.

22
Q

Wechsler Digit Symbol test: coordination.

A

This measure is a subtest of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale–Revised measuring visual perception, motor and mental speed, and visual–motor

23
Q

Brake reaction timer:

A

This timer measures the time required to move the foot from the accelerator
to the brake in response to a stimulus such as a red light. Options are available to expand to complex
or choice reaction times in responding to multiple stimuli requiring choice of response.

24
Q

Finger-to-nose and toe-tap tests:

  1. ROM and strength: Gross ROM and strength are assessed for the neck, trunk, and upper and lower
    extremities.
A

These timed motor coordination tests for the upper and lower

extremities detect dysmetria and coordination problems.

25
Q

Get Up and Go (GUG) and Timed Up and Go (TUG) tests:

A

The TUG involves timed performance of getting up from a chair, walking 10
feet, turning around, and walking back to sit down again; it is an indicator of fall risk. The TUG was
derived from the GUG, which is an observational rating of fall risk using a score ranging from 1 to 5.

26
Q

Rapid Pace Walk

A

In this timed clinical test, clients are instructed to walk 10 feet up and 10 feet back as fast as they feel safe and comfortable. This test is used as a measure for postural instability and gait disturbance.
