OxMET vs GripAble

OxMET was developed by the Translational Neuropsychology Research Group at the University of Oxford. The OxMET cognitive screen has been standardised, normed and validated (Webb et al 2021, Neuropsychological Rehabilitation). OxMET is suitable for use with adults, and in chronic (greater 6-month post-stoke) and subacute (greater 3 months post-stroke). The tool is not for self-assessment. Instead, OxMET provides health professionals with a brief, ecologically valid, assessment of executive dysfunction using a naturalistic shopping scenario. The test is automatically scored and evaluated against age adjusted norms (three age groups; under 64, between 64 and 72, and over 72). Upon completion, a visual snapshot report is automatically generated and can be stored locally on the device. The information contained in the report is not in itself a clinical diagnosis. The report should be used to inform a clinical diagnosis that takes into account all relevant clinical factors.

Use the GripAble application to connect to your GripAble device and train and assess your hand through an array of fun and entertaining activities. Set up your personal profile and access your personalised area in order to start assessing your hand functions and training choosing from a wide variety of activities. The GripAble device adapts to your own range of motions for the main hand functions using an in-app calibration tool. Track your daily and historical progress by setting goals and checking your achievements for each separate hand function. The app also comes with a variety of grip tests, used to assess and compare different aspects of your ongoing hand training.
