Ideal candidates are adults aged 20 years or older who have upper extremity hemiparesis from a first-ever stroke and can follow simple instructions.

Probably not a fit

Patients with orthopedic conditions affecting the arm or hand, other neurological disorders, or severe pain that limits movement may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies

This multisite clinical trial evaluates the effectiveness of a home-based Graded Repetitive Arm Supplementary Program (GRASP) compared to conventional occupational therapy for stroke patients. Participants will be randomly assigned to either the GRASP program or a standard therapy program, with interventions lasting 4 to 6 weeks, involving three sessions per week. The study will assess improvements in upper extremity motor function, daily activities, quality of life, and motor control strategies through clinical evaluations and patient feedback at multiple time points. The trial aims to provide insights into the feasibility and impact of home-based rehabilitation for stroke recovery.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this program could significantly enhance recovery outcomes for stroke patients by providing effective home-based rehabilitation options.

How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promising results with home-based rehabilitation programs for stroke recovery, indicating potential for success in this approach.
