Medline has inked an exclusive U.S. distribution agreement with GripAble, the developer of a two-in-one hand and arm function assessment and training device.

The GripAble Pro was designed to help therapists serve more patients more efficiently in neurological rehabilitation, pediatrics, hand therapy and other applications.

The device connects to a tablet app and tracks grip and release, wrist flexion and extension, pronation and supination, radial and ulnar deviation, overall strength, repetitions and training time. GripAble said its technology platform lets therapists work with patients in person or remotely, and offers better outcomes with interactive activities for motivating patients, real-time biofeedback and rehab progress tracking.
