A formative evaluation of the implementation of an upper limb stroke rehabilitation intervention in clinical practice: a qualitative interview study


Background 
The Graded Repetitive Arm Supplementary Program (GRASP) is a hand and
arm exercise programme designed to increase the intensity of exercise achieved in inpatient stroke rehabilitation
.  GRASP was shown to be effective in a randomised controlled trial in 2009 and has since experienced unusually rapid uptake into clinical practice. The aim of this study was to conduct a formative evaluation of the implementation of GRASP to inform the development and implementation of a similar intervention in the United Kingdom.
