Learning Objectives At the end of this session, participants will be able to distinguish the research evidence related to the Graded Repetitive Arm Supplementary Program (GRASP). Futhermore they will be able to identify appropriate clients for GRASP, progress and modify GRASP exercises, apply GRASP principles, and describe the roles of instructors and caregivers in GRASP. Target Groups Physical Therapists / Physiotherapists,
Occupational therapists

Meeting room 2

From repetitions to recovery with the graded repetitive arm supplementary program (GRASP)

Workshop

The World Congress of Neurorehabilitation is pleased to present a free afternoon forum for People With Lived Experience at the Vancouver Convention Centre.  The session will also be available by videoconference.  Registration is required.  World experts will describe the latest research that has the potential to impact care for people living with neurological conditions. Our clinicians will also discuss strategies to improve physical and mental health, and to lessen the effects of aging with a chronic health condition.  People living with a neurological condition such as stroke, traumatic brain injury, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis or spinal cord injury may find this forum of interest.  Family and carers, and supporting non-profit organizations are also welcome.

Oral communications

This session will provide an overview of the most recent high impact clinical trials in neurorehabilitation, including studies in stroke, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, Parkinson’s disease, and multiple sclerosis. 

Dr. Janice Eng, PhD, PT is the Co-chair of the 2024 World Congress of Neurorehabilitation. She is the Co-director of the Centre for Aging SMART at Vancouver Coastal Health.
