Able Strength puts grip strength measurement directly in the hands of patients and residents. Connected to the GripAble sensor via Bluetooth, the app captures clinical-grade data in seconds. Patients can track their own progress, set milestones and share results with their care team or family.
What grip strength tells you
Whole-body strength proxy
Grip strength is a validated proxy for overall muscle strength and physical function in adults over 60.
Falls risk indicator
Low grip strength is strongly associated with increased falls risk, frailty and loss of independence.
Mortality predictor
Grip strength predicts all-cause mortality more reliably than systolic blood pressure (Lancet, 2015).
Recovery tracker
Longitudinal grip strength trends track recovery from surgery, illness and deconditioning over time.
