abstract="BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The objective of this review is to identify the most consistent predictors of driving ability post stroke. METHOD: A computerized search of numerous databases from 1966 forward was completed. Measured outcomes included voluntary driving cessation or results of on-road driving evaluation. Studies were evaluated using the Newcastle-Ottawa Quality Assessment Scale. RESULTS: 17 eligible studies were identified. The most useful screening tests were tests assessing cognitive abilities. These included the Trail Making A and B tests, the Rey-Osterreith Complex Figure Design, and the Useful Field of View Test. CONCLUSION: Cognitive tests that assess multiple cognitive domains relevant to driving appear to have the best reproducibility in predicting fitness to drive in stroke patients.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
