What you get
The kit
A GripAble sensor, a measuring tape, and the blue bumbag that holds the sensor during the gait, balance, and chair-stand tests. Ships ready to use.
The Able Assess app
Walks any staff member through every test, step by step. Fifteen minutes of training, no clinical certification needed.
The Able Assess portal
See risk stratification across your population, and track changes for any individual over time. Export reports for care plans, family meetings, or audits.
What it measures
Single Maximum Grip Strength
Timed Up & Go (TUG)
Four-Metre Gait Speed
30-Second Chair Stand
The Assessment Process
Measure Grip Strength
The participant squeezes the GripAble sensor when prompted. The app records the maximum reading and stratifies it against age-banded norms.
Lower-limb assessments
Slip the sensor into the bumbag. The app walks you through the Timed Up & Go, four-metre gait speed, and 30-second chair stand — all using the same sensor.
View outcomes
The app stratifies the participant into low, intermediate, or high falls risk. Results sync to the Able Assess portal for trend tracking and reporting.

Three short clips, captured from a real screening. The full walkthrough on the left shows how staff run the assessment. The two results screens on the right show how Able Assess presents the outcome — clearly flagging an at-risk participant, and reassuring a not-at-risk one — the moment screening ends.
