GripAble. User Manual Pro

p.1

GripAble is an assessment and treatment instrument for people with upper

limb needs. It is intended for use by people with a wide variety of clinical

presentations and aims to:

• provide assessment of grip and release

• provide assessment of wrist and forearm movements

• optimise dose and intensity of upper limb training

• provide real time feedback during use

• track and monitor all training

GripAble is an adjunct to other instruments and rehabilitation modalities and

can be used in many different clinical and community settings. The therapist

will need to use clinical reasoning for each user and apply the instrument

appropriately. The therapist is responsible for the assessments and treatment

prescription selected.
For home use, it is recommended that the user consults an occupational

therapist or physiotherapist, who can assess the suitability of GripAble as part

of their home rehabilitation programme, set goals and advise on the appropriate

activities for the individual.
