Introduction
Squegg PRO is an advanced mobile application designed to pair effortlessly with the Squegg device, a tool specifically designed to assess and train grip strength & pinch strength. This application is particularly beneficial for clinicians who incorporate grip strength training and rehabilitation into their patient care practices. By connecting via Bluetooth, the Squegg PRO app provides real-time feedback and detailed analytics, allowing clinicians to assess and monitor their patients' progress precisely.
Therapists consider the Squegg device as a valuable tool for assessing grip strength. It has been found to have good concurrent validity and strong intra- and inter-rater reliability in healthy individuals, making it a promising tool for grip strength assessment.

Squegg PRO - What is it?
Squegg PRO app is designed for clinicians to manage and monitor a patient's upper extremity conditions. After receiving enthusiastic feedback from clinicians who integrated the Squegg device into their clinical practices, we embarked on a journey to further enhance the capabilities with the introduction of Squegg PRO. This innovative app offers clinicians the ability to create and administer personalized training programs. It facilitates objective assessments and engaging training in the clinic, allowing clinicians to track progress more accurately and adjust treatment plans accordingly. It integrates technology with clinical expertise to empower clinicians in delivering targeted programs that optimize patient care. Squegg PRO promotes collaboration among healthcare professionals by enabling the sharing of effective treatment templates, making the creation of effective routines more efficient.
Revolutionizing Rehabilitation with Innovative Home Exercise Program
Squegg PRO enables clinicians to create and assign personalized exercise routines. This also helps in the continuum of care from clinic to home. Clinicians can track patient progress and remotely adjust parameters such as resistance and frequency for each game or activity.
The compact size of the Squegg device ensures portability, allowing patients to perform their upper extremity therapy exercises anywhere, enhancing convenience and compliance. This approach optimizes patient recovery and leverages technology to provide data-driven patient care, ensuring comprehensive and effective rehabilitation.
Remote Therapeutic Monitoring System for Clinicians
Squegg PRO application enables consistent, high-quality care across both in-clinic and remote settings, seamlessly blending digital and in-person services for a holistic approach to care. Through the Squegg app, patients can access customized programs, while clinicians can monitor progress and make adjustments via Squegg PRO. This allows for real-time performance insights, remote tracking and documentation of patient progress, and detailed metrics to facilitate informed decision making and personalized treatment plans. The app also provides PDF reports for streamlined billing and administrative tasks, ensuring efficient management of patient data while adhering to HIPAA standards for secure storage and confidentiality.
Clinicians can efficiently create effective routines and remotely manage a patient's home exercise program based on the patient's progress.
Squegg PRO- Clinical Benefits
Clinics should consider using the Squegg PRO application despite the availability of free apps that come with the device due to its advanced features and comprehensive capabilities tailored for professional use. This is particularly beneficial in clinical settings to manage all upper extremity patients in one location effectively. The app’s ability to integrate with the Squegg Ecosystem also offers a holistic view of a patient’s overall progress to both the therapist and the patient.
Additionally, the Squegg PRO app includes features designed specifically for clinical use, such as multiple user profiles and secure data storage, ensuring patient information is managed professionally and confidentially. This professional-grade functionality makes the Squegg PRO an indispensable app for clinics aiming to deliver high-quality upper extremity care and achieve optimal patient outcomes.
Conclusion
The Squegg PRO app, paired with Squegg device, is a significant advancement in grip strength training and rehabilitation. It offers real-time feedback, customized exercise programs, detailed analytics with visual graphs, and helps to enhance patient care both in-clinic and remotely. Robust features and professional-grade functionality make Squegg PRO indispensable for optimizing rehabilitation practices. Implementation in clinical settings is straightforward, supported by comprehensive training and ongoing support, ensuring effective, personalized, and data-driven care. Overall, Squegg PRO sets a new standard in grip strength rehabilitation, enhancing the quality and efficiency of therapeutic interventions.
