At PhysioFunction, we incorporate GripAble in our upper limb rehabilitation programs to help individuals regain strength, control, and coordination in their hands and arms following neurological or musculoskeletal injury. GripAble is a smart, handheld device that pairs with a tablet to deliver engaging, interactive therapy for upper limb rehabilitation.
Designed with input from therapists and researchers, GripAble supports people rehabilitating from Stroke, Brain / Head Injury, Spinal Cord Injury, orthopaedic trauma and conditions like Parkinson’s Disease or Multiple Sclerosis. It is lightweight and ergonomic in design making it accessible for users with limited movement or grip strength, and the interactive games and training tasks help keep therapy fun and motivating.
The device measures grip strength and hand movements such as wrist extension, flexion, and radial deviation. These movements control the on-screen activities, allowing users to perform therapeutic exercises while immersed in games that track their performance in real time. This feedback encourages repetition, which is crucial for neuroplasticity and functional recovery.
Our specialist team can tailor programmes to individual goals, whether improving grip strength, fine motor skills, or range of motion. The data collected during each session is automatically logged and can be used to monitor progress and adjust treatment.
GripAble also supports home-based rehabilitation, allowing clients to continue their therapy between sessions and stay engaged in their recovery journey.
By combining innovative technology with clinical expertise, we can help our clients achieve meaningful improvements in hand function and independence.
As well as providing hands-on facilitation for upper limb rehab we also utilise technology
