Details and patient eligibility

About

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effect of the Graded Repetitive Arm Supplementary Program (GRASP) with the usual care on upper extremity function in individuals with stroke.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

  • Compare the effectiveness of the GRASP program delivered by train occupational therapists
  • Explore the patients' and therapists' experiences of the GRASP program using interviews and surveys

Stroke participants will receive either the GRASP program or Usual Care for four weeks (3 sessions/week). Stroke participants will be evaluated before, immediately after, and 3 months after the intervention. Therapist participants will be trained for the delivery of the GRASP program. Interviews and surveys/questionnaires will be administered to understand patients' and therapists' perspectives on the implementation of the GRASP program.
