Article Abstract
In this study, 39 patients with PD and 25 control subjects without neurologic disease completed testing in a driving simulator. PD patients had more total collisions on the driving simulator than control subjects (t = -3.7 p < 0.01). In PD patients, collisions were associated with Hoehn and Yahr stage (x2 = 12.4, p = 0.006) and correlated with Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale score (r = 0.5, p <0.01).
