What is VALD Performance Testing Technology?

VALD technology is made by clinicians providing objective measurement, efficient case management, generating data and actionable insights.

How does VALD technology help you?

The VALD technology helps our clinicians measure your progress and make more accurate, data-informed decisions about your treatment options.


VALD FORCEDECKS Dual Force plate System to help with Sports Performance and Rehabilitation

What are Force Plates and how can they help you?

Force Plates automatically detect and assesses over 20 different movements, from squats to jumps and from isometric strength to functional tests such as sit-to-stand and balance assessments. There’s a test for almost any patient or musculoskeletal pathology.

What are Force Plates used for?

Force plates can be used for a variety of purposes, such as studying human biomechanics, assessing balance and coordination, weight distribution, and measuring muscle force. This technology is also used in sports training to help athletes improve their performance and reduce the risk of injury. In rehabilitation, force plates can be used to help people regain movement and function after an injury. Force plates are used as a way of analysing biomechanical aspects of walking, running, or hopping to test performance.

How do Force Plates help train athletes?

The ForceDecks Force Plate System is used in sports to measure direction, strength, reaction time, and other parameters produced by specific movements of the body such as walking, running or jump analysis. The ForceDecks software analyses the motor patterns involved in kinetic and dynamic analysis in a user friendly way.

Are Force Plates a good rehab tool?

Rehabilitation patients can also benefit from using force plates in the recovery process. Force Plates can be used to help patients relearn movement patterns and improve weight distribution and loading. Your physio can use Force Plate data to design individualised rehabilitation programmes that maximise recovery and minimise the risk of re- injury.
