The importance of mobility and why assessments may be necessary
Mobility is a central part of independence and quality of life. For many, the ability to drive is crucial for participating in society, working, and maintaining social contacts. At Mobilitetscenter, we conduct assessments of cognitive and motor skills to thoroughly examine the conditions for safe and independent driving. A referral from a doctor is required to attend an assessment.
It is the Swedish Transport Agency (Transportstyrelsen) that, in its regulations, has determined and defined the so-called medical requirements for driving licences in Sweden. These regulations apply to all drivers and are in place to keep us all safe on the roads. A medical obstacle to holding a driving licence includes any type of illness, medical condition, or disability that may have a negative impact on road safety. The most common medical conditions and what applies to them can be found in the Swedish Transport Agency’s medical regulations (TSFS 2010:125)
How does an assessment work?
When you come to Mobilitetscenter, we begin with a dialogue about the reason for your visit. You will have the opportunity to describe your situation and get answers to any questions. We will explain the different parts of the assessment, what it focuses on, and what happens next. At Mobilitetscenter, we have a wide range of test materials and equipment, which we use and adapt depending on the type of assessment being conducted. These can be tests that focus on cognition, that is, the brain’s various functions, or tests that focus more on the body, for example, motor skills. After the assessment, we sit together and go through the results, and you will have the opportunity to ask questions. You will receive verbal feedback on what the results have shown, and we will discuss any consequences and possible solutions. A few days after your visit, your doctor will receive a referral response from Mobilitetscenter, which describes the results of the assessment and what we recommend.
