A new tool may help stroke survivors get back behind the wheel safely
NCT ID NCT06303765
First seen Aug 31, 2026 · Last updated Sep 01, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a practice resource called PReDAS helps occupational therapists who work with stroke patients feel more confident and make better decisions about driving. Eight occupational therapists on acute stroke units will receive the resource and a one-hour training session. Researchers will measure their self-efficacy and clinical reasoning before and after to see if the resource makes a difference.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Practice Resource for Driving After Stroke (PReDAS), a written guide plus a one-hour online training session for occupational therapists
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this resource could give occupational therapists a practical tool to help stroke survivors safely return to driving.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small early study with only 8 participants, so results may not apply to all therapists or settings. The resource may not change practice as hoped.
