Summary
This study tests whether practicing driving skills in a simulator can improve real driving performance in veteran stroke survivors. One hundred participants will complete both active training (focusing on speed, lane position, collision avoidance, and attention) and a control session. Researchers will measure driving scores before, after, and six months later to see if the training leads to lasting improvements.

Active substance
Driving simulator training
What this could lead to
If it works, this could help stroke survivors regain safe driving skills and independence.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 100 veterans. The training is in a simulator, so real-world driving may not improve as much.
