OBJECTIVE
To evaluate driving competency and the relationship between neuropsychiatric symptoms and driving behavior in frontotemporal dementia (FTD) patients.
METHODS
Fifteen patients with a diagnosis of FTD and 15 healthy controls were administered a driving simulation task. Measures of driving performance and neuropsychiatric symptoms were assessed.
RESULTS
The FTD patients received more speeding tickets, ran more stop signs and were involved in more off-road crashes and collisions than the controls. The patients' overall average speed was significantly higher. Driving performance was correlated with agitated behavior.
CONCLUSIONS
Behavioral changes characteristic of FTD patients have an impact on their driving skills leading to inappropriate driving behavior.
目的
评估额颞叶痴呆（FTD）患者的驾驶能力以及神经精神症状与驾驶行为之间的关系。
方法
对15名被诊断为FTD的患者和15名健康对照者进行驾驶模拟任务。评估驾驶表现和神经精神症状的指标。
结果
与对照组相比，FTD患者收到的超速罚单更多，闯的停车标志更多，发生的越野碰撞和事故也更多。患者的总体平均速度显著更高。驾驶表现与激越行为相关。
结论
FTD患者的行为改变特征会影响其驾驶技能，导致不适当的驾驶行为。
