Description
[edit | edit source]

The Graded Repetitive Arm Supplementary Program (GRASP) was developed by Janice Eng, PhD, PT/OT and Jocelyn Harris, PhD, OT with Andrew Dawson, MD, FRCP and Bill Miller, PhD, OT.

Indication
[edit | edit source]

GRASP is effective and safe for use in sub-acute stroke.[1]

Clinical Presentation[edit | edit source]

To initiate GRASP, subjects must score at least grade 1 for wrist extensors and demonstrate active scapula elevation against gravity.

The GRASP can be progressed based on the Fugl-Meyer Assessment Upper Extremity sub-score.

  • Level 1: 10 - 25
  • Level 2: 26 - 45
  • Level 3: 46 - 58
