Driving After Cervical Spine Surgery
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating STISIM driving simulator for Cervical Disc Disease. Completed, enrolled 19 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This is a single-center, prospective controlled simulation study designed comparing and evaluating the driving performance of subjects who have had cervical spine surgery and the use of a validated driving simulator. To date, there haven't been evidence-based recommendations to determine a patient's "fitness to drive" in the peri-operative or postoperative state. The objective of this study is to delineate the effect cervical spine procedures have on driving performance in the peri-operative time period. The study will take place at New York University Langone Medical Center - Hospital for Joint Diseases which will include the surgeries. The follow up visits will be at the NYU Center for Musculoskeletal Care.

Timeline
Interventions
This simulator is complete with computerized driving scenarios and driving hardware, has been validated in numerous studies and allows for a more comprehensive investigation of driving performance. The simulated course recreates standard turns, traffic intersections, pedestrian crosswalks, lane changes and several hazardous conditions routinely encountered during driving situations.
