Current through Rules and Regulations filed through June 27, 2024
While in many cases the best evaluation of driving
				  performance still remains the practical road test, in order to insure adequate
				  manual control in driving an automobile the following guidelines for
				  musculoskeletal performance should be used.
(a) Motor Power Requirements.
1. The strength of muscles required to
				perform the task of driving should be determined. This determination is based
				on two factors: the force of gravity and the resistance applied by the
				examining physician to the muscle group being tested. A determination should be
				made based on the physicians interpretation as to whether the strength is:
(i) Normal--Complete range of motion against
				gravity with full resistance.
(ii)
				Good--Complete range of motion against gravity with some resistance.
(iii) Fair--Complete range of motion against
				gravity without resistance.
(iv)
				Poor--Complete range of motion with gravity eliminated.
(v) Trace--Evidence of slight contractility,
				no joint motion.
(vi) Zero--No
				evidence of contractility.

Respiratory impairment leads to a decreased ability to
				  adequately provide sufficient oxygenation of the blood to meet the demands,
				  required of drivers.
(a) Tests of
				Ventilatory Function.
1. Since tests require
				maximal voluntary effort on the part of the patient they are not infallible,
				and should be repeated if significant impairment is noted.
2. A bronchodilator should be administered if
				the cause of the respiratory deficiency is suspected to be bronchial
				obstruction. If there is a 15 percent improvement in subsequent tests after
				this treatment, these values must be considered to be the true state of the
				individuals respiratory capacity.
