Teaching and Education

Welcome to the GRASSP Teaching and Education Page

 

This page provides information specific to training and certification related to GRASSP Products. There are three versions of GRASSP currently on the market and available for use:

 

  • GRASSP Version 1 – An impairment measure specific to the upper limb post traumatic tetraplegia.

  • GRASSP Version 2 – An impairment/activity measure specific to the upper limb post traumatic tetraplegia.

  • GRASSP Version Myelopathy – An impairment measure specific to the upper limb post non traumatic tetraplegia secondary to cervical myelopathy related to tumor compression, epidural abscess or degenerative cervical myelopathy.

Education and training on how to administer these assessments can be accessed in a variety of ways

IN PERSON EDUCATION

We provide in-person onsite or centralized teaching, with a ratio of one trainer for 6-8 trainees.

The in-person teaching process includes:
  • Provision of pre-training education through written reference materials or  e-Learning modules
  • A trainer present at the location and patient actors and volunteers also present
  • Onsite didactic and demonstration coupled with practical education

 

Resulting In:
  • Standardization among all assessors and their skillset, regardless of specialty or department
  • Verification that study assessors across sites have received accurate and organized education
  • Confirmation of Competency
  • Post-training follow-up support following training

VIRTUAL LIVE EDUCATION

We deliver live in-person WebEx teaching, with a ratio of one trainer for every 6-12 trainees (or unlimited trainees if no inter-actions from trainees).

 

The live WebEx teaching process includes:

  • Provision of pre-training education through written reference materials or   e-Learning modules
  • A live trainer to provide virtual didactic teaching with a live demonstration or video examples
  • No practical education, an option for trainees to provide a demonstration of their skills for constructive feedback (6-12 trainees)

 

 

Resulting In:

  • Standardization of education delivered among all assessors
  • Confidence that study assessors across sites have received accurate, organized, and standard education
  • If videos are sent to the trainer some competence can be confirmed in the evaluations.
  • Post-training follow-up following training

INDEPENDENT EDUCATION (e-Learning Modules)

e-Learning otherwise known as self-study is a new product that NOCI has recently launched to augment our existing teaching experience. Our e-Learning modules are typically used in conjunction with in-person or live WebEx training, usually as the pre-requisite for interactive training. If the e-Learning is followed by our standard inter-active training, it prepares the learner and solidifies the concepts so that the inter-active training experience can cater to the learning needs for each individual.

Our e-Learning modules have also expanded our ability to provide individuals with some standard education when they are unable to access our inter-active teaching. Neural Outcomes e-Learning modules are available to the public through the Neural Outcomes Learning Management System. Neural Outcomes e-learning modules are also made available to industry and academic groups through our learning packages tailored for multi-site studies and clinical trials.

Industry and Academic studies engaging multiple centers (more than 3) are required to work with NOCI to arrange an industry or academic package for all forms of training.

This page provides general information regarding training for GRASSP products.

All industry sponsored studies will require a training agreement with Neural Outcomes to ensure standardization across study sites and assessors

e-Learning Modules available for independent access:
