Clinical Topics and Safe Driving
146 topics
Higher function disorders that limit driving
Diseases of the neuromotor plaque cause loss of pure strength, with no sensory disorders. More information about parkinson and driving at Fundación MAPFRE.
Neuralgia of the trigeminal nerve, vascular algia of the face, temporal arteritis, and influence on driving
Neuralgia of the trigeminal is characterized by paroxysmal, discontinuous pain, expressed as electrical discharges, stabbing or laceration of the face.
Neurological visual disturbances and their impact in driving
Several elements of the central and peripheral nervous system complement each other to produce vision. For more information visit our site Fundación MAPFRE.
Eye movement and facial nerve disorders, and their influence on driving
Pupillary Arreflexia and Diplopathy prevent driving. Learn more about eye movement disorders, facial nerve disorders and their influence on conduction.
Hearing loss, dizziness of nervous origin, spinal nerve disorder, and repercussion in driving
With Vertigo and Nistagmus you can’t drive. More infirmation about hearing loss, nerve damage, nerve disorders and conduction at Fundación MAPFRE site.
Peripheral neuropathy and its limitations for driving
Learn more about Guillain-Barron’s syndrome or acute inflammatory polyradiculoneuritis. Discover tips on Peripheral neuropathy and conduction.
Myasthenia gravis, loss of strength of central origin, rigid-akinetic syndromes, and their impact in driving
Diseases of the neuromotor plaque cause loss of pure strength with no sensory disorders. Learn more about myasthenia gravis and driving at Fundación MAPFRE.
Non-traumatic spinal cord compression and its interference with driving
The etiology of non-traumatic spinal cord compressions is multiple, either of extradural or intradural. For more information visit Fundación MAPFRE.
Demyelinating and motor neuron diseases, and their impact in driving
Demyelinization is characteristic of many neurological disorders, and can occur due to local injuries, ischemia, toxic substances, or metabolic disorders.
Convulsive disorders and their interference with driving
Epilepsy is an intermittent disorder of the nervous system due to a sharp, sudden and disordered discharge of the brain neurons. More at Fundación MAPFRE.
Treatment of seizures and driving
The treatment of epilepsy is based on the use of drugs that reduce the abnormal activity of the nerve cells, reducing or suppressing epileptic discharges.
Non-epileptic paroxysmal phenomena and driving
It is important to distinguish epilepsy from other paroxysmal clinical conditions that are also disabling for driving. More information at Fundación MAPFRE.
