Squegg – Digital Hand Grip/ Pinch Strengthener

Q: How does the Squegg work?
Squegg is a smart, connected grip strength device that pairs with dedicated mobile apps for both patients and clinicians. When you squeeze the device, built-in sensors measure your grip strength, pinch strength, and range of motion in real-time. The data is transmitted to the app, where it's tracked, analyzed, and shared with your healthcare provider. This allows for objective assessment, personalized treatment planning, and progress monitoring over time.

Q: What conditions can Squegg help with?
Squegg is designed to help individuals recovering from stroke, spinal cord injuries, neurological conditions, hand injuries, arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, and other upper extremity impairments. It's particularly beneficial for anyone working to regain or improve grip strength, hand function, and fine motor coordination as part of their rehabilitation or therapy program.

Q: How accurate is Squegg for measuring grip strength?
Squegg uses precision sensors to provide accurate, objective measurements of grip strength, pinch strength, and range of motion. Unlike traditional assessment methods that can be subjective, Squegg delivers consistent, quantifiable data that clinicians can use to track progress, adjust treatment plans, and document outcomes. The digital measurements eliminate guesswork and provide reliable baseline and progress metrics.

Q: Can I use Squegg at home without a therapist?
Yes, Squegg is designed for both clinical and home use. The patient-facing app guides you through exercises and tracks your progress independently, while the clinician-facing app allows your therapist or healthcare provider to monitor your data remotely, adjust your program, and provide feedback. This makes it ideal for telehealth, home exercise programs, and maintaining therapy between clinic visits.

Q: How does Squegg track my progress over time?
The Squegg app automatically records every measurement and exercise session, creating a comprehensive history of your grip strength, pinch strength, and range of motion data. You can view progress charts, compare results over days, weeks, or months, and share reports with your healthcare team. This objective tracking helps you stay motivated and allows clinicians to make data-driven decisions about your treatment.

Q: Is Squegg suitable for stroke recovery?
Absolutely. Squegg is an excellent tool for stroke rehabilitation, particularly for addressing upper extremity weakness and hand function impairments. It helps stroke survivors and their therapists objectively measure baseline function, set realistic goals, track recovery progress, and adjust therapy intensity based on real data. The engaging app interface also helps maintain motivation during the often lengthy recovery process.

Q: What's the difference between the patient app and clinician app?
The patient-facing app is designed for individuals to perform exercises, view their own progress, and stay engaged with their therapy program. The clinician-facing app provides healthcare providers with tools to assess patients, create customized treatment plans, monitor multiple patients remotely, analyze trends, and generate reports. Together, they create a complete ecosystem for upper extremity rehabilitation.

Q: Does Squegg require a subscription or ongoing fees?
Squegg includes the connected device and access to both the patient and clinician apps. Some features or ongoing clinical monitoring services may require a subscription, depending on your use case and whether you're working with a healthcare provider. Check with your provider or the manufacturer for specific pricing details related to clinical programs or advanced features.
