Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, National Rehabilitation HospitalDepartment of Medical Engineering, Han Yang Medical College* Background: Return to driving after stroke is an important issue in stroke rehabilitation. We have developed theCPAD(Cognitive Perceptual Assessment for Driving), designed to assess the driving ability of patients with braindamage such as stroke. This study preliminarily investigated the reliability and validity of the CPAD. Methods:We tested 28 normal subjects. All subjects were administered (a) CPAD(Cognitive Perceptual Assessment forDriving) and (b) CBDI(Cognitive Behavioral Driver’s Inventory). R e s u l t s: The result showed that CPAD wasreliable in terms of internal consistency(Cronbach α=.527) and item-total correlation coefficients. And CPA Dseemed to be constructively valid because it negatively correlated with CBDI(r=-.473). Conclusion: These resultsindicate the CPAD has the potential to become a useful tool for the driving ability assessment in stroke patients. 대한뇌졸중학회지제6권제1호2004년5월
