Summary

This completed study looked at 140 stroke survivors to see how many returned to driving after a formal driving assessment. Researchers reviewed medical records and conducted phone surveys to identify factors like age, gender, and stroke type that influence driving recovery. The goal is to give patients and families clearer expectations about life after stroke.
