Exploring the Relationship Between Age and Pedal Performance in Driving: What Does It Mean for Clinical Practice?

Abstract

Abstract Date Presented 04/02/2022 Understanding the relationship between age and pedal use is crucial for accurate recommendations in driving. This study examined the relationship between age and foot pressure inaccuracy in healthy adults ages 30 to 60 years. The results showed no significant difference between foot pressure inaccuracy and age, but what does this mean to the clinician? This presentation will provide clinical implications as well as other important points to consider when assessing pedal use in clients.
