OPAM Workshop: DOT FMCSA NRCME Course-263074

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video discusses the requirements and evaluations for musculoskeletal and neuromuscular conditions impacting one's ability to safely operate a motor vehicle. Specific physical capabilities are needed, such as prehension and power grasping. Conditions like missing limbs or impaired neck mobility often require a Skills Performance Evaluation (SPE) to ensure stable functionality. Specialists such as orthopedists or PM&R doctors are involved in assessing stability. For neuromuscular diseases, specialist input assists in determining if a condition is stable enough to drive, with tests ensuring the driver’s capability over extended periods. Vision testing requires 70-degree peripheral sight.
