Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Other
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY

The goal of this multisite clinal trial is to evaluate the implementation of the home-based Graded Repetitive Arm Supplementary Program (GRASP) at rehabilitation clinics across several hospitals. The main questions it aims to answer is: • the efficacy of the home-based GRASP program relative to the conventional occupational therapy intervention on improving health outcomes, including UE motor function, daily function, quality of life, and motor control strategies. Stroke participants will be randomly assigned to either the Home-based GRASP group or the conventional occupational therapy home program group. Each group will undergo an 4 to 6-week intervention (3 sessions/week) with evaluations conducted before, immediately after, and 3 months post-trial, assessing clinical and kinematic measures. Interviews and surveys will be conducted to gain insights into the perspectives of patients regarding the implementation of the home-based GRASP program.
