What this Trial Is About
This study aims to develop accessible methods for the early detection of selected neuropathologies in drivers, focusing on multiple sclerosis and Parkinson's disease. The primary objective is to identify clinical tests that correlate with outcomes from the Vienna Test System (VTS), thereby enabling early diagnosis without the need for complex neurological or neuropsychological assessments. Findings could improve the effectiveness of routine driver medical check-ups and inform future modifications to Czech traffic law to enhance road safety.
