Abstract

Purpose of Review To determine and examine the evidence of GRASP in an upper limb rehabilitation setting for survivors
of stroke.
Summary Five databases were searched: CINAHL Complete, Medline (OVID), Embase, Cochrane Methodological Register,
and Open Grey resulting in 8 studies for this review. Studies that included survivors of stroke using GRASP, participants
over 18 years, and full-text articles were used. The Down’s and Black checklist and Critical Appraisal Skills Programme
were used to assess risk of bias.
Recent Findings A narrative synthesis of results, including setting and exercise time, was conducted to provide a compre-
hensive overview of the clinical measures. The findings of this review revealed that those who used GRASP showed an
increase in hand strength/dexterity, upper limb function, and in the activities of daily living. The setting of GRASP provides
implications for the way the program can be delivered in the future
