This study is looking at how driving simulator training can help adults who have had an acquired brain injury (ABI) get ready to drive again. Researchers want to see if using a special driving simulator, called the Drive Safety R-300, helps people feel more comfortable, confident, and independent with driving. You would be randomly assigned to either eight sessions of driving simulator training or eight sessions of traditional occupational therapy. All participants will have tests before and after their sessions to measure their readiness to drive. To join, you need to be over 18, have an acquired brain injury, a valid driver's license, and have driven before your injury. People with moderate to severe thinking problems or certain vision issues cannot participate. The study aims to understand how driving simulation training improves pre-driving skills.

Study design

This is an interventional study with 50 planned participants. You would be randomly assigned to one of two groups: driving simulator training or traditional occupational therapy.

What's involved

You would participate in eight intervention sessions, either driving simulator training or traditional occupational therapy. You will also have pre- and post-testing using various assessments.

Compensation

Not stated in the trial record.

Follow-up

Your readiness-to-drive will be measured at 8-16 weeks and after 16 intervention sessions.
