Annotation | Doctors may not give adequate attention to driving and means of transport as a part of rehabilitation with many illnesses, including stroke. Geriatricians have an important role in ensuring that transport issues form part of routine assessment of their patients with age-related disability. An approach that combines focused clinical assessment and a low threshold for on-road assessment can lead to high levels of return to driving, and planning for alternative methods of transport is facilitated.
