A pilot study: Can the UFOV assessment be used as a repeated measure to determine timing of on-road assessment in stroke?

Improvements in scores at one month intervals over three months are due to improvements in abilities assessed by the UFOV as no practice effect was found to influence scores. UFOV scores performed at monthly intervals post-stroke can be used to guide the timing of an occupational therapy on-road assessment, with an increased likelihood of passing, as recovery occurs. This repeated use of the UFOV assessment can assist referral practices that best utilise driving rehabilitation programmes. Larger studies need to be conducted to confirm these results.
