Summary

This study tests whether a home-based arm exercise program, called GRASP, can help stroke survivors improve movement and use of their affected arm. Participants will do exercises at home for one hour daily and attend group sessions three times a week. The goal is to see if this program boosts arm function and prevents learned disuse of the weaker arm.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Graded repetitive arm supplementary program (GRASP) - a home-based rehabilitation exercise program
What this could lead to
If successful, this program could offer an effective, low-cost way for stroke survivors to improve arm movement and daily function from home.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial (52 people) testing a behavioral program, not a drug. Results may not apply to all stroke patients, and improvements may be modest.
