Plain-Language Summary
The goal is to help people with stroke, Parkinson's, or multiple sclerosis retrain impaired driving skills so they can drive more safely and confidently. The approach compares a portable, low-fidelity driving simulator with a high-fidelity fixed-base simulator, both of which recreate driving situations so you can practice steering, braking, lane keeping, hazard detection, and reaction timing while getting performance feedback; the portable version is designed to be easier to set up in clinics or homes and the high-fidelity system offers more realistic controls and visuals. Eligible volunteers are adults 25 to 75 with a first-ever stroke, Parkinson's, or MS, a valid driver's license with at least three years' experience, a Mini‑Mental State Exam score of 24 or higher, and binocular vision of at least 20/60; people with traumatic brain injury or other neurological conditions are excluded.
