A Case-Control Study Investigating Simulated Driving Errors in Ischemic Stroke and Subarachnoid Hemorrhage.

Background: Stroke can affect a variety of cognitive, perceptual, and motor abilities that are important for safe driving. Results of studies assessing post-stroke driving ability are quite variable in the areas and degree of driving impairment among patients. This highlights the need to consider clinical characteristics, including stroke subtype, when assessing driving performance.
