Background: Researchers completed a retrospective analysis of driving evaluations in a driver-retraining program post diagnosis of cerebrovascular accident (CVA). The purpose of the research was to determine predictors for a successful return to driving outcomes post-stroke (age 17 years or older).
Method: Data from 41 de-identified charts (23 females; 18 males) of individuals with a diagnosis of a CVA, were collected from a driver training program. Researchers used a mixed-methods approach to analyze data comparing those who were cleared to return to driving and those who were not. Researchers compared factors between successful and unsuccessful groups using Mann Whitney U. Therapist narratives were analyzed thematically.
Results: Of the 41 charts examined, 23 were cleared, and 18 failed to return to driving following evaluation. Quantitative results indicate that standardized assessments, client factors, and behind-the-wheel (BTW) factors were significantly higher for clients who were able to return to driving
post-CVA. Thematic analysis revealed two themes: Insight and family support both contributed to a successful return to driving following stroke.
Conclusion: A person’s fitness to return to driving post-CVA may be guided by their independence with ADLs and IADLs, insight into deficits, ability to compensate for deficits, performance on standardized and BTW assessments, and the clinical expertise of the CDRS. The therapists’ narratives indicated ADL and IADL were important factors, however, specific IADL were not consistently scored during evaluations. Therapists should evaluate specific IADL skills using a standardized assessment to be consistent in determining readiness to drive.
