Home-based exercise program for stroke recovery

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

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.
