What is a Pomodatt?
The PoMoDATT was developed to fulfil the need for a comprehensive PMD driving assessment, which incorporated indoor, outdoor and community driving. Created for use by occupational therapists, the tool was designed so that thorough PMD education is completed before skills assessment and training. Monitoring driving skill over time is possible because a baseline of physical and cognitive skills, which could influence driving performance, is established initially. Prior to the driving assessment, the user is educated about relevant road craft and PMD use principles. The basic skills required for PMD use are taught too, thus ensuring that the user’s first experience driving a device is not also a skills assessment. Whereas PIDA and PCDA assess a PMD user’s driving ability prior to training, the PoMoDATT is structured so that users’ driving skills are assessed and scored after training. This is an important feature, which acknowledges that most individuals have had no PMD experience prior to skills assessment. Additionally, new skills are being learnt and competence is dependent on training (Hall et al., 2005).
What is a MoCA test?
The MoCA is a brief 30-point standardised screening test used to assess a broad range of cognitive domains: executive function, memory, language and visuospatial processing. The results from the MoCA are used to further understand the client’s cognitive abilities.
How long is a PMD assessment?
Each PMD assessment session usually lasts one hour. The concentration demands of the client’s intended usage patterns need to be considered when deciding whether the client’s concentration skills are appropriate. For example, if the client consistently requests “short” assessment sessions, the occupational therapist may not be able to assess the concentration demands required for a trip to the supermarket.
What are the positive outcomes of PMD?
The positive health outcomes of PMD use are well documented. These include enhanced quality of life and social inclusion, greater self-worth and empowerment (Auger et al., 2008; Australian Competition & Consumer Commission, NRMA Motoring & Services, CHOICE, EnableNSW & Flinders University, 2012; Cassell & Clapperton, 2006; Edwards & McCluskey, 2010; Evans, 2000; Fomiatti et al., 2013; Letts et al., 2007; May et al., 2010). The greater sense of control, “autonomy and self-sufficiency” experienced by PMD users stems from the ability to independently access the community at the time of his or her choosing (Fomiatti et al., 2013, p.305). For users, PMDs provide the ability to maintain important life roles, while enabling new opportunities. As a result, “a new sense of purpose” is often realised (Fomiatti et al., 2013, p.305).
What information should a therapist record to assess a client's vision?
To assess the client’s vision, the therapist should record any relevant medical information, the type of glasses worn and the date of his or her last eye examination.
What are visual spatial abilities?
Visual-spatial abilities will impact on the client’s ability to maintain a straight path when driving the PMD. These skills will enable correct judgement when ‘driving’ the device along narrow paths and through narrow doorways.
What does it mean when a client is lowered on PMD?
It can result in the client experiencing difficulty when deciding on how to respond in an unexpected situation. Feelings of reduced self worth can mean the client does not trust in his or her abilities. It may be beneficial to introduce strategies to assist the client to manage his or her mood when using the PMD (for example, relaxation training).
