thesis
posted on 2020-08-17, 23:46 authored by BLEYDY DIMECH-BETANCOURTReturn to driving after acquired brain injury reflects a return to independence and participation valued life roles. Therefore, it is important for brain injury rehabilitation to address this goal. This thesis establishes a theoretically-driven and evidence-based intervention using a driving simulator to rehabilitate driving ability in people with acquired brain injury. It identifies facilitators and barriers to the current use of driving simulators in clinical practice, and highlights the potential of driving simulator training to benefit patients with reduced confidence about returning to driving after injury.
