Zusammenfassung:	Background The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of sling immobilization on driving performance with use of a driving simulator. Methods This is a prospective trial with a cohort of 21 healthy volunteers comparing their driving ability with and without sling immobilization on their dominant (driving) extremity. Multiple variables, including number of collisions, off-road excursions, and centerline crossings, were measured with a validated driving simulator. Trials were separated by 2 weeks to control for “adaptations” to the simulator. Statistical significance was found in collisions between sling and no-sling tests. Results The total number of collisions for trial 1 (no sling) was 36 (mean, 1.7 ± 1.2) compared with 73 (3.7 ± 1.6) ( P
