PROBLEM
People with dizziness caused by vestibular (i.e., inner ear) disorders complain of difficulty driving. Physicians occasionally warn their patients with vestibular disorders not to drive. Few studies have asked patients about their driving performance, so little data are available.
METHOD
Using the Driving Habits Questionnaire, the authors did structured interviews with people with several different vestibular disorders and with normal subjects. The self-reported crash rate and rate of citations for moving violations did not differ between the subject groups.
RESULTS
Patients report reduced driving skills, particularly in situations when visual information is reduced, rapid head movements are used, and specific path integration or spatial navigation skills are needed.
问题
患有前庭（即内耳）疾病引起头晕的人抱怨开车困难。医生偶尔会警告患有前庭疾病的患者不要开车。很少有研究询问患者的驾驶表现，因此可用数据很少。
方法
作者使用驾驶习惯问卷，对患有几种不同前庭疾病的人和正常受试者进行了结构化访谈。各受试者组之间自我报告的撞车率和交通违规罚单率没有差异。
结果
患者报告驾驶技能下降，尤其是在视觉信息减少、头部快速移动以及需要特定路径整合或空间导航技能的情况下。
