The aim of this study was to develop a brief screening battery to
predict the on-road performance of drivers who had experienced a stroke. METHOD.
We examined 72 people with stroke referred by community physicians to an academic
rehabilitation center. The outcome variable was pass or fail on the modified
Washington University Road Test. Predictor measures were tests of visual, motor,
and cognitive functioning. RESULTS. The best predictive model for failure on the
road test included Trail Making Test Part A and the Snellgrove Maze Task((R)).
CONCLUSION. A screening battery that can be performed in less than 5 min was able
to assist in the prediction of road test performance in a sample of drivers with
stroke. A probability of failure calculator may be useful for clinicians in their
decision to refer clients with stroke for a comprehensive driving evaluation.
