Squegg Smart Hand Grip Strengthener View Product

We all know that grip strength is one of the most impacted impairments limiting the hand function among others -- like range of motion, pain, and swelling.

The most commonly used tools for grip strength in hand recovery have been the dynamometers for measuring grip strength, balls, and other age-old techniques to improve the strength. Since grip strength is worked upon towards the last phase of the recovery program, patients tend to lose motivation leading to higher dropout rates from the recovery program.

In this digital era, nothing engages better than super-cool technology. And what if this smart technology could help a patient make hand recovery easy and fun? YES, we are talking about Squegg - a Bluetooth enabled smart grip trainer that can help hand therapy patients measure their grip strength and improve it with its range of engaging exercises and games. This advanced hand muscle strengthening equipment is now widely used in physiotherapy, hand therapy, and occupation therapy to enhance the grip strength of patients suffering from carpal tunnel syndrome, hand injury, and arthritis.

There are an increasing number of case studies that showcase the effects of incorporating virtual reality and interactive games into therapy. The game motivates the patient to perform the exercise, and it helps distract the patient from their pain. In addition, the tool is able to quantify the patient's therapy. Overall, it maximizes the medical outcome of the patient. It truly is a win-win situation.
