TI  - Investigation of Driving Hazard Perception of Stroke Survivors
AB  - Objective: It was aimed to investigate the level of hazard perception and its relation to cognitive skills of strokesurvivors.Material and Methods: Participants who had a stroke at least 1 year before were included in this study. HazardPerception Test (HPT) and Trail Making Test Part B (Trails B) were used to analyze participants’ driving hazardperception and cognitive skills related to driving. Spearman correlation test was used to investigate the relationshipbetween hazard perception and cognitive functions. Additionally, one sample T test was used to determine whetheror not the Trails B test results differ from the 106.7 seconds cut-off score.Results: Twenty-one participants (2 females, 19 males) with mean age 59.42 ± 11.07 years participated to thestudy. Participants had 30.52 ± 18,2 (min: 6, max: 65) mean scores from HPT and 165,38 ± 89,94 seconds (min:65, max: 347) from Trails B. Bivariate correlations indicated HPT and Trails B had statistically significant negativeexcellent correlation (p<.05, r: .89). Additionally, one sample T test indicated Trail B scores were statisticallydifferent and higher from 106.7 seconds cut-off score (p<.05).Conclusion: It was found that participants had late responses to potential driving hazards and limited executivefunctions, visual-perceptual and visual-motor tracking. Hazard perception, on the other hand, is one of the mostcrucial skills that directly related to crash risks. Clinicians and researchers should consider training visualperception skills and hazard perceptions of stroke patients; because hazard perception does not only be related todriving but also pedestrian safety.
