Abstract
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 comprehensive 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.
期刊介绍:
This journal aims to offer expert review articles on the most significant recent developments in physical medicine and rehabilitation. By providing clear, insightful, balanced contributions, the journal serves those for whom an understanding of emerging knowledge in the rehabilitation sciences is essential to optimizing health, function, and participation in individuals with physical disabilities. We accomplish this aim by appointing international authorities to serve as Section Editors in key subject areas across the field. Section Editors select topics for which leading experts contribute comprehensive review articles that emphasize new developments and recently published papers of major importance, highlighted by annotated reference lists. An Editorial Board of more than 20 internationally diverse members reviews the annual table of contents, ensures that topics include emerging research, and suggests topics of special importance to their country/region. Topics covered may include amputee rehabilitation; interventional pain management; musculoskeletal rehabilitation; pediatric rehabilitation; spinal cord injury rehabilitation; stroke rehabilitation; swallowing disorders; and traumatic brain injury rehabilitation.
