Inter-instrument reliability between GripAble and Jamar.
Used by neurological, MSK, and pediatric clinicians, GripAble Pro is a two-in-one assessment and training device for the upper extremity. The portable, handheld device connects to the GripAble app, delivering gamified rehabilitation, which encourages engagement, repetition, motivation, and adherence.
The activities target different aspects of grip, release, wrist, and forearm movements, and address a range of physical and cognitive abilities and goals.
GripAble Pro is a modern dynamometer, with proven accuracy, sensitivity, and robustness. Lightweight and portable, it enables hand training to continue at home, with the therapist monitoring remotely.
GripAble is distributed in North America by Medline’s specialist team. To purchase GripAble Pro for your setting or to request a one-month trial, please follow the link below.
Physical rehabilitation is critical to restoring quality of life after stroke and many other neurological, orthopedic, and pediatric conditions, and studies show that the more repetition and strength training a person performs, the greater their chance of restoring movement and, ultimately, their independence.
GripAble enables you to set regular goals and provides daily feedback to help build motivation and engagement with training activities.
