Abstract:
This paper offers a summary based on the findings of an evidence-based review previously conducted to determine the effectiveness of interventions for medically at risk drivers with stroke, visual deficits, or cognitive decline. Specifically, this work offers occupational therapy practitioners clinically applicable recommendations and intervention strategies. Because driving is a key instrumental activity of daily living for continued independence, autonomy, and quality of life, the recommendations provided in this review may enable the clinical reasoning and decision-making skills of occupational therapists working with medically at risk older drivers.
