Multimodal redundant warnings elicited faster braking reaction times.
One study showed a reduction in dangerous maneuvers on the road [42] and another showed improved braking reaction time on a driving simulator [46].
But their average speed, braking reaction time and accident rate was no different.
Besides, the braking reaction time was also showed similar results to the knee functional test.
To our knowledge, this study is to date the only one which has explored the braking reaction time after MIS-TKA.
Pierson et al. [ 21] had even reported that braking reaction time showed significantly faster than preoperative values at 6 weeks postoperative.
According to the correlation between the results of knee functional scores and driving braking reaction time, we could find that the transition time showed a positive correlation with knee reaction time during moderate driving speed conditions.
For discussing the timeframe for return to driving for patients with traditional knee arthroplasty, the Spalding et al. [ 20] found that the braking reaction time returned at the time of 8 weeks after surgery for the right knee.
In fact, their patients still showed a significant increase in braking reaction time from pre-operative to 2 weeks postoperative, meaning that patients were not fully recovered at this stage.
Besides, there was also study reported that braking reaction time was poorer at 10 days after surgery, but returned to preoperative values after right knee surgery at 30 days postoperative [ 17].
For example, the results of a study by Mohebbi et al. (2009) demonstrated that simple, casual cell phone conversations may render auditory warnings ineffective (i.e., no significant reduction in braking reaction times [BRTs] were observed when performance was compared to a no-warning condition).
