Abbott is committed to supporting you and your patients achieve the best possible outcomes, and as part of this commitment, Abbott is providing your Trust with a handgrip dynamometer to be used in patient assessments and to help monitor intervention strategies and patient progress.
Please note, this is for UK based healthcare professionals (HCPs) only.
Handgrip strength (HGS) is a well-accepted, simple clinical marker of muscle strength, especially among the older and unwell populations.1 Poor HGS is associated with increased risk of mortality, disability and other health complications.2
The handgrip dynamometer is a quick and easy, non-invasive way of measuring HGS, and may help identify patients who are, or at risk of becoming frail, and developing other such complications.
For more information on the hand grip dynamometer, please speak to your local Abbott Account Manager, or contact our Freephone Nutrition Helpline on 0800 252882 or email ukabbottnutrition@abbott.com.

A powerful tool for understanding and responding your patients’ nutritional requirements.
The R-MAPP app is an adaptation of the R-MAPP (Remote – Malnutrition APP)1 guidance created by European experts in clinical nutrition in response to the COVID-19 pandemic crisis as a tool for the remote evaluation of nutritional status for COVID-19 outpatients, those in the recovery phase of the disease and for all patients that need nutritional care, but cannot visit their physicians in person. It could be suitable for every situation in the future that might limit the availability of healthcare system to broaden scope.
MUAC Z-score tapes are a simple, inexpensive and easy way to measure malnutrition risk in children. It is a helpful nutritional assessment for all children as changes over time, particularly for very large or very small children, are easier to understand in order to track the progress of nutritional intervention.
