Driver Simulator Training to Improve Driving After Stroke
Driving Simulator Training to Improve Driving Performance in Veteran Stroke Patients
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 24 Apr 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
One hundred Veteran stroke survivors will participate in both an Active Driver Training intervention and a Control intervention in a fully interactive driving simulator. In addition, all participants will complete pre- and post-intervention driving assessments in the driving simulator to measure driving performance and types of driving errors committed. Half the participants will receive the Active Driver Training first, whereas the other half will receive the Control intervention first. Each Active Driver Training session will provide targeted practice and feedback on each of four unique driving skills including: speed management, collision avoidance, lane positioning, and dashboard attention. The Control intervention will be matched for total time but will only provide extra familiarization with the operation of the driving simulator, with no skill-specific practice. It is predicted that the Active Driver Training Intervention will result in improved driving performance, relative to the Control condition. In addition, after a delay period of at least 6 months, all participants will be re-assessed in the driving simulator and will complete a survey to capture changes in driving status.
