Risk factors for crash involvement in older motorcycle riders
2018, Accident Analysis and PreventionCitation Excerpt :The OARS scale consists of seven basic ADLs, including self-feeding, self-dressing, grooming, walking, getting in/out of bed, bathing, and controlling the bladder; and seven instrumental ADLs, including using a telephone, transporting oneself, shopping, preparing meals, doing housework, taking medication, and managing one’s money to assess physical dependence and independent living in the community (George and Fillenbaum, 1985). Corrected visual acuity was measured using Rosenbaum cards, with a value of <20/50 being characterized as poor vision (Horton and Jones, 1997). The visual field was measured using a confrontation test and an Amsler grid to respectively assess peripheral and central vision.
The neuro-ophthalmological examination
2011, Handbook of Clinical NeurologyCitation Excerpt :Most neurologists who test visual acuity do so using a near card (Fig. 3.1A). Most popular is the Rosenbaum card, although other versions may be more accurate (Horton and Jones, 1997). Visual acuity should be tested for each eye separately with correction.
Initial experience with an accommodating intraocular lens: Controlled prospective study
2010, Journal of Cataract and Refractive SurgeryCitation Excerpt :The 1 exception was the ability to read newspapers without reading spectacles. The discrepancy between our outcomes for J3 (62%) and the number of patients using reading spectacles (36%) is because of the inaccuracy of the Rosenbaum scoring system, which seems to overestimate reading ability.9,10 We were unaware of this inconsistency during data collection for this study and in a previous study.10
A randomized trial of a brief multimedia intervention to improve comprehension of food labels
2009, Preventive MedicineCitation Excerpt :They were offered a pedometer or movie tickets as incentives to participate and signed a written consent form. Patients were excluded if they had poor vision (< 20/50 by Rosenbaum card (Horton and Jones, 1997)), did not speak English, or indicated that they could not read in English. Patients were randomized using a random number generator to either the multimedia intervention or control groups.
Acceptability and concurrent validity of measures to predict older driver involvement in motor vehicle crashes: An Emergency Department pilot case-control study
2007, Accident Analysis and PreventionCitation Excerpt :These measurements included; the Older American Resources and Services questionnaire (OARS) to measure pre-crash basic and instrumental activities of daily living (Fillenbaum, 1988), The Timed Up and Go (TUG) balance and mobility test (Podsiadlo and Richardson, 1991), The 15 point Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) score (Sheikh and Yesavage, 1986; Alden et al., 1989; Lesher and Berryhill, 1994), the Mini-mental State Examination (MMSE) (Folstein et al., 1975) the Clock Drawing Test using both the Wolf-Klein and the Schulman scoring methods (Sunderland et al., 1989; Wolf-Klein et al., 1989; Shulman, 2000), Trails A and B (Reitan, 1958; Lezak, 1995; Tombaugh, 2004), Word List generation (name as many four legged animals in 1 min as possible) a test of semantic fluency and executive function both of which are often impaired in early dementia, the Frontal Assessment Battery including similarities and lexical fluency (Dubois et al., 2000; Chayer, 2002), visual acuity tested in both eyes using Rosenbaum cards held at 14 in. ( Horton and Jones, 1994), the ability to understand and discriminate what is said in a whispered voice at 1 foot while rubbing fingers beside opposite ear to interfere with hearing in the opposite ear (MacPhee et al., 1988), the Driving Habits Questionnaire (Parker et al., 2000) and the Ottawa Driving and Dementia Toolkit questions for patients displayed in Table 1 (Byszewski et al., 2003). The impacts of medical illnesses were rated on a three-item Likert scale by patients (e.g. (1) not bothering them at all, (2) bothering them a little, and (3) bothering them a great deal).
Pilocarpine-induced shift of an accommodating intraocular lens: AT-45 Crystalens
2005, Journal of Cataract and Refractive SurgeryCitation Excerpt :Differences in testing charts (eg, Jaeger, Rosenbaum, CAT) and examination conditions may explain these varying results, which limits data comparability. There are differences not only among the various testing charts, but also among versions of a single type of testing chart (eg, the Rosenbaum chart38). Several other factors such as astigmatism that is not fully corrected or slight residual myopia in the distance correction, as well as factors that affect pseudoaccommodation, small pupil size, or multifocality of the cornea, may have an impact.
